  1. I will test from tap, yep, it’s crazy. Haven’t tested the tap water yet. I just did a 50% change and added prime. Thanks @Tony s. I have no clue why this is happening but we will see what happens.
  2. Exactly what @JE47 said, if you post in diseases more people that are super helpful and will probably help you quick, @Colu can help you if you want immediate help. Oh and welcome to the forum!!!! @CarrieB.
  3. Thanks and my nitrates are between 15-20 ppm. I did 2 changes last week btw and I feed them every 2 days and feed them floating foods so it will not sink to bottom. Will wait on the cories for a long time and make sure no ammonia for like 5 days or something, thanks @macdaddy36 for being really nice and helpful to me.
  4. Sorry for no recent update, still trying to put everything together and see what price of this stuff and see what I am buying and how expensive it will be, bigger update will come in the next month!!! Stay tuned lol
  5. Mini update: momeywort is not doing great, fish are good and healthy tho! The ammonia sits at right under .25 ppm. Could I add the corys soon @Tony s, @macdaddy36? Thanks and also I do a weekly water change often as well.
  6. Awesome!! I love the people that try something new instead of me who doesn’t lol, love them @Guppysnail
  7. Crazy awesome tanks @NikkiRae! Good job!!!!! The 55 is looking sweet! Yeah I would do if the water is super clear like a 20-30% every 2 weeks maybe instead of one. I agree with everyone here on what they say too.
  8. Yeah, the number of fish can be a big thing to, like if it’s overstocked then ammonia might be present and also another Q, how much do you feed your fish @NikkiRae?
  9. Water changes are the most important thing you could do for your fish, but I have the same Q as @jwcarlson, I am concerned about that as well. What do you mean by “hate it”? Are they super stressed @NikkiRae?
  10. Epiphyte plants like what @EricksonAquatics mentioned do not have to be in the soil, Java fern and anubias can be gel glued to rocks or decor or even driftwood. 🙂, I like how you are like me who loves to give Betta fish better homes then bowls! Male betta fishes tank mates are very limited. 1 pet snail would be it if you asked me especially for a 5g. I would do a natural looking tank with plenty of live plants and driftwood if possible. I would recommend spider wood. I would get the API master liquid test kit, and I would recommend looking up the fish in and fishless cycle and decide what one you want to do, fish in are quicker but requires more maintenance and fishless cycle requires more patience, I would read how and why to do it on both @Maya. Spider wood and others are very affordable at petsmart and the like as well, hope this helps you!
  11. Thx! How much are we talking on that light? And also I am going to get a glass lid, forgot to mention that @AllFishNoBrakes. Wow, super duper helpful!!! Thanks sooo much @clownbaby, will check those out! Thanks, I thought that most would be on Amazon @macdaddy36. Thanks everyone for the help.
  12. Agreed, the fishes time can come at a odd time, but if no other fish died, I would say that it was just the fish, but if more die, I would start looking at the temp shock @Tony s mentioned.
  13. I agree with that instead of risking that big tank breaking with fish in it, it might ruin your life 😂. But whatever you decide @NikkiRae, plz tell us the out come if u will! Good luck! Repairing the glass isn’t a bad idea, I say go for either one, took me a while to respond because I had to read everything to make sure I am not talking about something COMPLETELY different lol
  14. Got some suggestions? I am clueless about fish tank lights and need assistance on which one I could use on my topfinn 10g starter kit. Thanks and oh here is a picture of my tank if that even helps lol. And also I need one becuase the light currently hanging on the lid is not bright enough for my moneywort and it’s not doing great.
  15. Good choice! Great tankmate for WCMMs! So calm and peaceful, cool fish!
  16. The females are usually a lil bigger and fatter and lighter then the males and the males are darker with more bright colors @TJ _isme.
  17. Welcome! And of course you can, this forum is the most helpful and nicest forum on earth and u will 100% like it I promise @NoGameNoLife!
  18. My bad, i forgot about how tiny he is, when he gets bigger you will have more options. i belive he means baby brine shrimp @JS Fish. Those would work.
  19. Just the topfinn tank starter kit light, ya not the best, might need to get one soon (a good one)
  20. Oh, yeah good idea, I am sure if you can get them from the pond he was in he would eat them. Also shrimp might work as well @JS Fish.
  21. Np, sorry that was a steal of a deal, but out of these 2 choices of “not taking a risk costing 0 dollars or “took the chance and it cost me 100+ dollars (prob 200+). Good decision @NikkiRae. Sorry about it tho.
  22. Hmmm… I would fill it with water (if you want to, that is a big tank there) and see if it leaks, it looks super scetchy to me, so I advise caution @NikkiRae. Besides that there is no further damage correct @NikkiRae?
  23. The plant is new yes, like 3 weeks old, the tank is almost half a year old, cycled and thriving @MattyM, any suggestions?
  24. I see a tiny hole in there, might be a problem, u could fill the tank up with water and see if it leaks @NikkiRae. It looks pretty damaged.
  25. Test strips are for kh and gh for me and test kit for the essentials (ammonia nitrite nitrates etc.) I ordered a new ammonia test kit because mine had lots of junk around the cap and wasn’t reading right. It’s weird…. @Airborne 82nd is right as well, that is a way for u to 100% know your water quality.
