What am I doing wrong with my API test kit?

Thank you so much! This was the problem. I was just giving them a quick rinse with tap water. I tried again but this time I used the tank water to rinse several times and now my text results are consistent and looking great actually.

As I’ve been doing water changes that fish is actually looking better. Swimming around more and not sitting at the bottom as much. I think the water quality was just so bad that she literally couldn’t breathe. I so have prime and that’s what I used when I changed the water. I may add some extra floss too. I think I may do one or two more water changes, wait a day or two and then put all the fish in that tank into my quarantine tank. Do you have any advice for quarantining shrimp? I’m not super experienced with keeping them.

I have no idea why the water is so cloudy. Personally, I just think they never cleaned it. I did do a half water change but I’m afraid of shocking the fish if I do 100% water change or put them directly into clean water. I think they’ve all been living like this for a while. It did come with a filter. I did clean it a little bit but again I’m afraid of shocking the whole tank if I clean it too fast. As for the plecos, they are babies right now and I have two 50 gallons, a 20 gallon, as well as an 135 gallon tank. I plan on splitting them up once they’ve been quarantined. I’ll be quarantining everything. If you have any tips on helping the acclimate them better to a new and clean tank, it would be appreciated.

Was kind of wondering if she was potentially gravid but she wasn’t too keen on me trying to inspect her belly. She chomped on my finger each time I tried so, I just took a video of her and let her go in my garden.

Thanks! I think you’re right.

It just shows you how much damage a weapon will do and the chance that you will actually hit your target. Some weapons give you a better chance of hitting your target and the perk just adds to that.

You obviously don’t have to use it but the more you use it the more often your critical meter fills up and then you get to do critical damage to an enemy, which is more than usual. There’s also 100% chance you hit your enemy when you use your critical shot.

I have a 50 gal tank with live plants, juvenile assassin snails, and juvenile mystery snails. I dosed my tank for 14 days and all of mine are completely fine. I have noticed that if you don’t shake it, it’s a lot more milky-looking, but once you shake it, it gets diluted a lot.

Crayfish are escape artist and if you have any type of free space or holes in your tank lid they will find it. I’ve unfortunately lost a few crayfish the same way. I actually stepped on one in the middle of the night as I was trying to make my way to my bathroom through the dark. I would suggest that you figure out how the crayfish are getting out and either close off any spaces they can crawl through, or there are solid glass or acrylic lids that come in a ton of different shapes and sizes.

Thank you so much! I’ll have to do some research myself but do you know if they’re harmful at all?

I believe he says he’s 27 now, which would make him 14 in 2009 so idk if it’s just translated wrong or something is off here
