[First time ever getting babies]

Yeah like a little kid seeing a giant candy bar!!!!😂

[First time ever getting babies]

I have a community tank in my 10 gallon and I had two cherry barbs that spawned. Figured I would never see babies because of all the other fish, but today found so far 2 swimming around 😁 Here is one right in the center of the picture 

[Hello everyone]

Welcome! Wow looks awesome keep the updates coming 😁

[Got brine shrimp Hatcher]

Got my brine shrimp Hatcher from Co-op today 😁, excited to get that going! Also loving the stickers keep them on my tank stand door! 

[Hello from Philadelphia, Pa]

Hello all I have a 20 gallon, 10 gallon and a 7 gallon fish bowl. Also keep a reptile.

dream would be a 75 gallon planted tank, hoping to get a 20 long soon as well #MTS

[Help with recent slimy stuff in tank on plants & substrate]

The leaves look like they have diatome algae which is normal with a new tank. I had a ton in my 20 gallon for a while but doing water changes and rubbing leaves will slowly work it out. As your tank seasons or settles in then it won’t be as prevalent. 
 

these two picts are from same tank a couple months apart diatome algae was so bad it got depressing almost started whole tank over but no tank looks amazing

[Raising low kh but have hard water]

So I tested my water today in my 10 gallon tank and found that I had between 0-40 ppm kh and as a result my ph was closer to 6.2. 
I have heard Cory say to use crushed coral but my gh is over 300 ppm and I don’t want to raise my hardness any more any suggestions? 

[What is this on the wood?]

Wow! So unique does look cool 

[New Fish keep dying😡]

I’ll have to contact the store about parameters and see how different they are.

thanks “inked” I’ll have to try that quarantine method next time 

[New Fish keep dying😡]

Here is pict of tank

With the otos I asked for the biggest and fattest ones and all the corys seemed fine In the store 

 

[New Fish keep dying😡]

I tested right now 

 

ph - 6.8

hardness -300 (on city water) 

nitrate - 20 ppm

nitrite-0

kh 40 

 

[New Fish keep dying😡]

So I have a fully cycled 20 gallon tank setup for almost 2 years, but recently every time I buy fish I loss a majority of them within a week. Example: I bought 6 panda Corys and 4 otos, 3 days after purchasing them 1 oto and two pandas died now 10 days after 2 more pandas died. Should I be doing a salt quarantine to avoid these losses?
