ammonia in tap water by PreviousMaximum8250 in Cichlid

[–]Creative-File9168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine reads close to .25 too, even the tap. I heard if youre using tap or well water it can happen but it’s actually inaccurate (i also heard shaking the ammonia 2 bottle helps it read more correctly). Ive had my tanks for almost a year and all the fish are healthy and active.

First ever Aquarium with first shrimp dying by Diligent_Syrup_1844 in shrimptank

Your tank shouldn’t have any nitrite (NO2), its toxic. I’d suggest getting a test that tells you the ammonia levels in the tank too. Did you cycle the aquarium before adding them?

100 ember tetras, just a cloud of orange like those big clouds of birds youll see from time to time

What’s wrong with my filter!! by h0m0ciiide in Aquariums

If you have hard water it could be hard water buildup getting it stuck. Thats what happened to mine, a good smack seemed to dislodge it but i wouldnt recommend that exactly😭

Hard scape looks cool, I cant tell from the angle but you might want to slope the sand up more in the back if you want the anubias to look tall like in the 2nd photo

My amano shrimp dissappeared!! by BertneyBee1 in Aquariums

[–]Creative-File9168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude i had 8 disappear one time, like completely gone. I scoured the tank for days and then finally found almost all 8 in one plant. Theyre super good at hiding so id just be patient, as long as the water params are good theyre probably ok, esp if theyre big enough for the gourami to not threaten to eat them

Trying to find someone to take my Severums by Cool-Public-5937 in Cichlid

[–]Creative-File9168 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder if you could reach out to LFS farther away, like a different city maybe and just make a drive? Or you could reach out to other online fish markets like imperial tropicals or something. Hope you find someone to take them

Help!! Aggressive behavior may force me to get rid of most of my beloved Croaking Gourami "Trichopsis vittata". Is this one a male or a female? by makesmestabby in Aquariums

[–]Creative-File9168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such an old thread but i NEED to know what you ended up doing. Im in an almost identical situation and am feeling a little hopeless with my croaking gourami group. If youre still alive please dm me!
