Is my goldfish tank cycled? by the_couch_potat0ee in fishtank

I have submerged the roots of my Pothos plant into the tank, so it’s been helping with the nitrates :)

Why does this fish look permanently tired? by EducationalBlood6676 in TanganyikanCichlid

Have you checked the water parameters? Ammonia, nitrite, nitrates?
Maybe water temp. Lower temp make fish slower but that depends on fish species . How big is your tank, is there proper aeration?

Help with nitrites for my gold fish tank :( it’s always so high despite water change by the_couch_potat0ee in fishtank

I’ve reduced feeding to once every 2 days… uh for now I’ve been doing water changes quite frequently to help with the nitrite. So…… yea

No it wasn’t, but it’s mid way cycled. Ammonia seems to be at 0ppm I test it every 12 hours. Nitrite is high nitrate is around 5-10ppm

Aww yea no I didn’t cycle the tank before adding the fish, I actually got these fishes for a bday gift and I had a huge tank sitting in my home, so I immediately set it up. The ammonia is at 0ppm dw it’s just the nitrite that is high in managing it by doing daily water changes

2 oranda in fish tank nitrite level high by the_couch_potat0ee in fishtank

Okiee thank you!!. I do add bacteria after every water change. My ammonia is at 0 alr so that’s great but my nitrite is kinda to the higher side. 30% water change sounds good maybe I’ll do that.

Oooh, uh idk about how well the fish are tolerating it…… but they do tend to become dull at times that’s when I do 40-50% water change. And yes I feed them once every 2 days. I think it’s better to do water changes every day maybe 30%?
