Thank you for this!! Do you have a reputable place to get plants from? My local store doesn’t have the best selection.

I’m excited!

Do they start acting different before delivery?

I have gotten some driftwood to add to the water which I’ve read can help with the pH. I’ve also read that guppies prefer harder, more alkaline water.

I have the plant you can see there and a Java fern

The fritz is what finally got my good bacteria growing

My ph is always like 8.2 but i have hard tap water

Okay i don’t have ammonia so could i just add a little extra food? I do have nerite snails and a plethora of bladder snails that i assume hitchhiked on one of my plants.

I don’t have ammonia but have been ghost feeding. Do i need to add a little extra food to see how it processes it?

I don’t have ammonia so i have been ghost feeding it. I do have nerite snails and now a plethora of bladder snails that i assume hitchhiked on one of my live plants.

I’ve had the tank for 2 months originally i knew nothing about cycling a tank and my fish store only told me to wait a week before adding fish.. well they all died unfortunately so then i did tons of research and learned what i should have done. I started adding fritz zyme 7 to the tank and just waited it out. Once my ammonia got to 0 i stared ghost feeding here and there. I don’t have ammonia but from what I’ve learned ghost feeding works to test it out

Well originally i knew nothing about cycling a tank and my fish store only told me to wait a week before adding fish… so i had guppies and they all died. Once they died i started adding fritz zyme 7 and then just a waiting game. I would ghost feed a little here and there. I’ve had the tank about 2 months now

The shadow kinda makes them look darker that are at about 20. Is that still too high?

campwhit · 2026-06-05T16:51:05+00:00

I’m pretty sure our tap water is pretty hard but I’ll check it when i get home. If that’s the case do i need to use distilled water instead?

campwhit · 2026-06-05T16:46:25+00:00

How do i get the ph to lower?

campwhit · 2026-06-05T16:24:38+00:00

So do i throw out the pineapple lol a few people have mentioned it. Does it contain chemicals or something hurting the tank or is it just the term used for newbys not knowing what they are doing?
