    When can I feed again, I don’t want more ammonia but they haven’t been fed in 5 days but don’t worry I am not a beginner thinking that I need to feed every day but just wondering.
  2. Whitecloud09
    Yes that is true. The ammonia 0 at tap is scaring me. But it’s gotta be something in my water that was not originally there, and now it is. Got it, I use prime for conditioner btw, about to do one, thanks @macdaddy36.
  3. Whitecloud09
    No, I’m about too tho. A 25% prob. Here is the pictures btw. The lighting is kinda ruff. But it’s 0 guaranteed.
  4. Whitecloud09
    Ammonia is 0 at the moment. The nitrite is 0. Nitrates is between 5 and 19 ppm @DBrown918. @Tony s.
  5. Whitecloud09
    You have to use the gel glue on ACs website. But I think it looks awesome, it looks healthy!
  6. Whitecloud09
    Yes I know, ammonia poisoning. Might be the issue. I am dosing prime, have been for 2 months now, with every water change @DBrown918. @johnnyxxl, it is strange why all of this is even happening….
  7. Whitecloud09
    Ok I will test nitrates soon. But I am having company right now so that explains my late reply, sorry everyone My nitrite is 0, not even close to the slightest bit @DBrown918. My nitrates are 15 usually. But yeah 0 i mean 0 nitrites. I test every 2 days too. Just did a 25% again this morning, they (my white cloud minnows) yawn and go for air at the top of the water but I can’t get a airstone till Monday for very good unspoken reasons. Sadly…. I don’t know how to increase oxygen without pump and airstone…… Yeah I am subscribed, he’s a good YouTuber I love his channel! @Tony s. @AllFishNoBrakes, thanks for the info!!! @tetra, thx a lot! Daily water changes and testing every day is wha to am doing now…. I don’t lol!!!! But I saw something about it a couple of days ago tho but good video!! Yeah I panic, it’s not good to do that in this hobby, but hey I mean I have been doin this for 2 years, and I think I know a lot. But not EVEN close, I learn multiple things daily on this forum! I am so glad I joined, just wondering where I would be without it 😉

    Oh my bad, I forgot you had plants

    @macdaddy36, I am going to get one, (a airstone) and had a Q. Do I need a sponge filter? I am not against it but just wondering. This article is what I am looking at on AC, I probably will but everything that I need for one obviously, air pump, tubing, check valve, the actua airstone and a sponge filter. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/aquarium/air-stones-the-secret-weapon-every-aquarium-needs

    Aquarium salt, is a good thing to use for almost any disease @writinglover0101.
  11. Whitecloud09
    They stopped yawning but get air from the top of the water often, but no other common signs of ammonia poisoning, I will get an airstone soon and just keep a eye one em @macdaddy36.
  12. Whitecloud09
    Ok, let me first say, I am super glad someone else chime in here with some fresh ideas!!! @Tony s and me are in the dark and just trying to figure out the issue. I thought I did cycle the tank @Tony s right? Like it had no ammonia after the cycle for a month. Maybe I am wrong or just tired 🥱 lol. @cotasm, thanks a million, I don’t use the dr Tim’s bacteria every change actually and have not at all recently. Maybe it expired when in the middle of use? Idk Yeah, I am starting to pull my hair out and just mad and confused why this is happening. Yup. I will tomorrow morning and report. Last time I checked they were 15 ppm. And I do shake vigorously for one minute and shake the bottle and everything, I have been trying to follow the book as perfectly as I can 😉
  13. Whitecloud09
    Remember this? The rotting roots were still there for all the way to today until i noticed them.......could this be the issue, rotting plants can = ammonia right? @Tony s and the gel glue was there too.
  14. Whitecloud09
    Just completed a 25% change, mainly to scrub algae and clean gravel, Thanks, yes you have been patient enough with me a guy who will sometimes panic 😅 Filter cartridge coming today from amazon, + dr tims one and only

    When pH is low and the water is acidic, it heavily reduces the toxic form of NH3 ammonia, but with a pH higher than 7 and at certain water temperatures, the concentration of toxic NH3 ammonia is much higher. I just read this. My temp is 72 with ph sitting around 7.6. Could this be another thing? I am sorry for spamming posts but i just want to have a normal no ammonia tank like most of everyone else 😥
  16. Whitecloud09
    Could it have to do with the ph of the water? And temp as i read this, also my gh and kh are both 2, if that means anything at all https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=is+there+ammonia+in+city+water&hspart=iba&hsimp=yhs-syn_launcham&param2=9dUI1n2R0BLDxNuWfiP4aSFOTltNdSPoIx38%2BUf%2FiXrvPdoGmStdlfwLFZYDvqkAJrWWk4yNReCLnBD%2FqPsDZd7olTZcV8HMx1G%2Fk786sE2Tis1g8dJd8zxVWs%2BbKztBnq1TfqUiqPYK9pXifXmJFyorDuCsYXJE71Y6G5tfejBOGQIkjMWL9ueYatTiC2seBRG7mLrXW8bxskI4s31K8kOvBetBHycGi3ZyaVwlEjUKPvxyjERSAiOqmUn%2FkMi2Iy%2Fv%2FBy3SaHMDPBujTOF9A1CxwSb6tFKPLzgY55T2C42gLx568IpR7jXQVDE6XrO&param3=HpCyCT2cXaKG4CVDR00rqgObRQahimQNt2d5ZCR7Jy3IZoD3T11qaq2nywASZYgKzfyS10BttKbIeHkaaNI9P0ioRHftV47BlCRVuFr0mVctO7htUdYjC5dp%2Fy6lQtNXycZ%2Fl5k9kS0fHQGnJnFf4%2BU%2BYl2TSsGiOseOtnQhKiRVko3gcXLlbDwQyIBxjoAb8rXuJow298qLDb7ZCDTVGrSG1rxH8q8gmQMjB%2Fim2C9fMDHdbRdkDp7L%2BkQmc8lcLNPMk%2B5eTw1MFEKJMBnND6PCkO7jaoFECrjoZSnfAo9ml2uFBHlNnXPiuIIkRr1E&type=f2%3A%3B.6850610d4680680b2811f3dcdca6be379af%3B5.ac48522a20946644e52a8ef8e64166f19c0ca9cd289975659b0570f139cfd1da05e084af6b3ead9e74a4d#:~:text=Ammonia exists in either one of two forms. It can exist in a pure%2C un-ionized%2C uncharged form (NH3)%2C or it can exist as a positively charged ammonium hydroxide ion (NH4%2B) when it dissolves in water. The form ammonia takes in water is highly dependent on the temperature and pH of the water. It has to be my water, or i am testing wrong but i think that think that i am doing everything correctly. Last guess, its the jugs i use for water changes, empty distilled water jugs and a used (idk what for) 5 gallon bucket i found and cleaned from my basement. @Tony s
  17. Whitecloud09
    Nope, i have no clue where my water comes from before tap besides its city water. Why is all i am asking.................................................. Could it be my ammonia test jit? Should i get strips and test? The fish, are as healthy as they could be. Living it up in there lol. I have no clue....
  18. Whitecloud09
    One of my WCMMs is yawning every once in a while. Could this be a issue? low oxygen right? Do I need a airstone?
  19. Whitecloud09
    It’s .25 and maybe the tiniest bit less possibly. Here is some pictures of the check this morning @Tony s, @macdaddy36, and everyone else.
  20. Whitecloud09
    Here are the awesome pictures everyone! 😀

    Beautiful tanks! Good luck!!! @Beach Cruiser, i love some big tanks! I have the nicrew light as well actually, got it last night , it’s awesome for sunrise/sunset.
  22. Whitecloud09
    He was partially joking. I have bought ACs plants for months and no snails. If you have a quarantine tank tho you could quarantine the plants and try to eliminate the ramshorns if it will make you sleep at night, @cotasm.
  23. Whitecloud09
    Yes, my anubias is indestructible. Amazing, the most basic plant, throw some AC all in one ferts and there you go, not more issues.
  24. Whitecloud09
    Interesting, I might look into that, I am currently having a ammonia spike in my tank.
  25. Whitecloud09
    The white cloud minnows is the G.O.A.T fish, very cool tanks! Cory your right, my fav fish of all time. I like this video on how to breed them. Or just find a old thread on the forum. I know they are super duper easy to breed. I have them, the best fish 🙂
