Thanks! Glad to know it would work!

Thank you! I appreciate the help!

I have guppies so I usually keep it around 76°-78°. In the summer I will go up to 80° because that's what my tap water runs. My house runs 80° during the day and 74° at night. In the winter we keep it around 70° during the day and 65° at night. Thank you for your help!

Hi, I currently have a 200w heater in my 20 gallon that I love (because its adjustable from outside the water). My nephew just gave me their 65 gallon aquarium. I would like to keep that heater. Would it be big enough for a 65 gallon or do I need to get a 300w? The dimensions of the new tank are: 48×12.5×24.75. I am keeping guppies and I keep their temp between 76°-78°. In the summer I will go up to 80° because that's what my tap water runs. My house runs 80° during the day and 74° at night. In the winter we keep it around 70° during the day and 65° at night. Thank you for your help!

I appreciate the info! I only have a 20 and a 5 gallon so I think I will follow your advice with the snails and then just have the new guppies QT until they are ready. Thanks for all the insight! I hope you have a great afternoon!

@Guppysnail So you think it's safe to just rinse them off and leave them in a bucket of treated water for a bit before putting them in my 2 tanks (separate from my QT tank)? That would be so much easier! Thanks!

I will add one now. Thanks!

Thanks for all the advice! I have a separate tank set up for the snails. I purchased them from Flip Aquatics. Should I run a sponge filter or is just an air stone enough with daily water changes? I knew that salt would hurt them as well as other invertebrates but didnt realize it would kill them. I'm so glad I found this forum! It's been such a huge help! Thank you so much for the info and reaching out to Guppysnail. It's truly appreciated!

Thank you so much! I haven't kept fish for over 25 years and so many things have changed from medicine to methods. I appreciate it! Thank you so much! I haven't kept fish for over 25 years and so many things have changed from medicine to methods. I appreciate it!

Thank you so much for the advice. My guppies are coming from North Carolina. Do you still recommend the salt treatment if they weren't raised in brackish water? I have aquarium salt so i will add some of that to the tank. Also I have never had snails before. Should I just do water changes for them and nothing else? Thank you I truly appreciate the help!

Hello. I ordered 9 female guppies and they're on their way to me. I have never ordered fish online before. Only purchased from big box stores but their fish looked unhealthy or they had dead fish in the tanks. 😱😱 NO THANKS!! I have a quarantine tank set up and waiting. My question is should I dose them with meds right away? I have API General Cure on hand and Ich X as well. Is Fritz Paracleanse the same thing as General Cure? Do I need to use anything else? Nothing at all? I know that Cory recommends to use Fritz Maracyn as well and I have some on the way. Also, I have a separate quarantine "tank" set up because I ordered some snails (from a different company so I didn't think I should put them together). How should I treat them? With anything? I know that certain medications can harm them. Sorry for all the questions and thank you for any help you can give me!!!

I will definitely do that! Thank you!

Hi. I'm new here and so happy I found this site! I have a 20-gallon tank with a betta, guppies, Corys, and some plants. I have a question about ich medications, but first, this is what I'm currently doing. I am using Jungle ich tabs but am almost out. I live about 45 minutes away from any store that would carry ich medications. I ordered API Super Ick Cure which will be here today (ich-x would take too long to get here). So finally, to my question. Can I do a 50% water change and safely switch to the API Meds? Thank you for any help you can give me!
