    Yes your not alone, i have only bought fish from petsmart. I think its fine, i bpought every fish i ever had from there. My white cloud minnows have really good health and are thriving so yeah, dont feel bad. Kanaplex, 100% reccomend. I have it, i think it can be better than maracyn 2 possibly as well like @Tony s mentioned Same.

    Cool info @clownbaby, but i was wondering what tanks you have? fish tanks.
  3. Whitecloud09
    Wow, please remind again of the plants in the very back @johnnyxxl? Everything just shot up like a weed in your tank! Nice job on it!

    For some reason I love this game called Pokémon unite, no idea why, but made me love Pokémon even more!

    But it might steal the nutrients because of how fast it grows. But I might get ACs light and a new glass lid (maybe)

    Back to the theme of the topic, I see hornwort can be a good floater, but will it steal nutrients from my root plants @beastie? As you mentioned something of that sort. Just was seeing this, reading an article on ACs website about hornwort, down below. Does hornwort clean water? Fast-growing plants like hornwort are good at “cleaning” aquarium water because they consume waste compounds from the water (e.g., ammonia, nitrates, and phosphates produced by fish waste and excess fish food) and use it to grow more leaves. With enough light and nutrients, hornwort can easily grow 1-4 inches (3-10 cm) per week.

    Update: I decided as the ammonia is .25 to .50 ppm. 😫. That I am going to take out my Java fern tonight, it’s rotting terribly. And gonna see if the rotting is causing the ammonia. Fun fact, the ammonia spike started about around the time it started melting (might still be not the case but we’ll see). @Tony s, @macdaddy36, @johnnyxxl, hope this is the problem, I found on the internet what people said about rotting plants and ammonia. ⬇️ Picture down below, of my tank, I changed the look, the moneywort, yeah I got rid of it, it was barely alive, roots rotting two pieces left. @macdaddy36, I tried a video of them eating but it says it’s too large. ? Idk how to get it. But there is my update everyone. Ps: I moved that small cave to behind the Pearl weed. Where it was originally.

    Yep, age. Mine was 2 and a half when he died (I think idk fully) and not saying he is gonna die soon, but we have no idea when their time will come but for the fin rot I would do maracyn like @Colu mentioned. Yes I have too, sadly I didn’t see the result of it when I used it on my betta (as he passed a few days after) but yes, definitely, I would buy it.

    Possibly swim bladder disease, but yeah same as what @CoryKeeper said as well, keep us posted if you don’t mind @Cjbear087. If it is I know a decent amount about swim bladder disease and would love to help. But obviously not an expert.
  10. Whitecloud09
    Yeah, it’s a slow grower, it has barely grown a inch since I got it, but let me tell you, if you have everything it requires, I have seen some people have it and it grows pretty good and also it can help with coverage for your cories. Wow, need to buy that soon as possible, my plants are not doing great.
  11. Whitecloud09
    Oh and @macdaddy36 I will video me feeding them in the next couple of days.
  12. Whitecloud09
    Agreed. And agreed, for my advice, same as both of these guys said, up temp to 80 will definitely help. Almond leafs can help. Imagining your tank is completely cycled and probably 100% is. A mirror helps more than you think. I had a betta (I believe you knew about him named Sonic) and I had tons of experience with him, got experience with salt, kanaplex, clamped fins, mild fin rot, stress lol, and swim bladder, oh yeah and I messed up probably the most important thing, the cycle. No bragging going on here because I would not Bragg about that kind of thing obviously lol. Yep enough about my experience and now my advice. Salt would help possibly but maracyn would definitely help. I am almost certain that he would get some energy from the mirror. Pretty much the same as what Cory and others said, is he active and swimming sometimes at all @EricksonAquatics? Or is he sitting at the bottom all the time.
  13. Whitecloud09
    Update: I am about to check paremeters, then will post a pic of my tank. Stay tuned so to speak.
  14. Whitecloud09
    Thanks for the update @JS Fish, have you tried the BBS yet? Or has he grown a little bit since then….
  15. Whitecloud09
    Yep, dwarf sag as well, I need to try that plant sometime. Also I’ve seen a valisernaria only tank, Cory is a big fan of it, it makes everything so Jungle like IMO @Nikhil.
  16. Whitecloud09
    Valisernaria (probably not how you spell it) makes more and more and more plants. It makes an awesome jungle affect, and obviously the more driftwood the better @Nikhil.
  17. Whitecloud09
    Ok, gonna do a big huge change. A 50% to be exact. Might not be big but yeah i will let the tap sit tonight and recheck tommorow.
  18. Whitecloud09
    Let us know how it goes @Colette! Hope it recovers soon! Yep, water changes can always help
  19. Whitecloud09
    Whoops, i already got rid of it. But i had the other one in there with it for a week then took out the old one @johnnyxxl Also it is still sitting on top of my empty 5g. Does it matter if i put it back in the new one is in there and i added some bottled bacteria in there. The old one is dryed out too @johnnyxxl, @Tony s, @macdaddy36. Nope. Did not come from Temu and yes i know they are not trustworthy as i have seen how cheap and fake everything is
  20. Whitecloud09
    @Colu might know what it is @Colette. But it definitely does look like a possible hole in head.
  21. Whitecloud09
    Real quick I apologize for maybe blowing up peoples phones if your followers of this topic, but here is a picture of my cartridge, it’s gotta be this or the rotting plants correct?
  22. Whitecloud09
    Another thing that I will throw out there, could it be my Java fern? I think is rotting and look what I found here on the internet, and it says this ⬇️ This is where the cycle comes full circle. Plants (rotting vegetation) can be the cause of the ammonia spike, but they can also be the solution. Maybe it is the issue? Will plants cause an ammonia spike? That’s what the Q was too. Here is some pictures & my Java fern
  23. Whitecloud09
    Could it be that I have plants (artificial for more hiding), causing this? Becaus they were in my 5g ( @Tony s you probably know of it with my betta that died) that had some ammonia right before he passed? Like it was .50 sometimes and so,e times 0. This most likely not the case, but I am trying to just figure this out somehow. Here you go, the cartridge has been in there for 2 months and it says here The loss of a portion of a system's biofiltration capacity is a very common cause of ammonia spikes. This can happen, for example, when mechanical-filtration media (socks, sponges, etc.) are left in place long enough to become colonized with nitrifying bacteria and are then removed and replaced or aggressively rinsed.
  24. Whitecloud09
    So odd.. 0 ammonia @macdaddy36, @johnnyxxl, @Tony s. I am talking about the tap ammonia.
  25. Whitecloud09
    I am still looking up all this, and came across this, Ammonia is rarely found in unpolluted surface water or well water, but water contaminated with sewage, animal wastes or fertilizer runoff may contain elevated levels. The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has not established a maximum contaminant level (MCL) for ammonia in drinking water. I feel like there is a big possibility of ammonia in my tap, as I have tap water btw. Keep making multiple posts, still trying to figure out WGY AND HOW this is even happening. @johnnyxxl, thanks for the recommendation as well, thinking of moving this ammonia thing to my journal or ammonia spike topic instead of talking about this in the plants forum.
