  2. He's little better today. His body color is coming back and listless isn't as bad. Starting to use his tail more.  Fingers crossed. Thanks for asking

  3. Hello all. My black moly has. Some light grey tint on half his body. Looks like his fin is partial open.. Water is testing good.. We moved him to hospital tank and starting treating with Kanaplex for fungus.. Any suggestions 

  4. My kid wants to keep them..  We have 3 of them and i am just going to try to keep algae under control to control growth.. The shell look great with nice color.  Just fyi and now we have Swordtail fry.. Its like the whole aquarium is coming to life.

  5. We are starting with Shrimp and snails.  Its  going to be a community tank with angels maybe 3-4 later as shrimp and snail get settled in. I want to slowly stock and watch and journal testing as tank progresses .. Thanks for the compliment also

  6. Thanks Brandy

                           There are no fish in tank yet. I would prefer a fishless cycle and move to a natural balance in aquarium.  I test water evey few days and journal it.. Notice a few brown spot hole on the  "Windelov" java fern. I super glued them to a driftwood. Was reading and it might be potassium issues. May need to grab a bottle of Potassium at my local fish store. Seachem ok

  7. I received my plants and placed them in my aquarium on sat this week. The aquarium is going though its cycle..   ph 6.6  ammonia  is 1 ppm and nitrite 2 ppm  and nitrates are 20ppm.. When do i fertilize tank ,.also the tank has been cycling 2 weeks now do i need to water change 25 percent or just let tank cycle.

     

    Thanks everyone

  8. Hello All.. 

           Just a beginner  to planted aquariums.  its 75 with fluval fx6 cannister filter.  I am 2 weeks into the cycle process and would like to know if its ok to plant in the current phase of the cycle.  Ammonia and Nitrite are present in tank and no nitrates. My goal  is to start a planted community fish tank with Angels and good tank fish for them.. Any help is appreciated . Thanks
