sandy i love your pictures makes me almost wish i would have done a coral tank instead of a freshwater chiclid tank.

ok so my water is clear again and we have a few "cycle fish" in there and things look ok but the amonia is still really high so no angelfish yet it odd i get the ammonia down low and think i am doing good and then the next day its back up again it really annoys me. but i would say things a...

You just answered it for me. no I do not as the bow from has a wider front to back than standard tanks. you will have to make one out of some egg crate or other such material. Ok dad said if we couldnt find the divider the minute he sees the eggs are on the slate and fertilized he will just take th...

not sure what you mean? its like bo shaped i will take a picture and post it

hey G how much are the dividers for a tank dads size? we need to seperated his angels from his other fish. his male is going after his other fish he put his guromi in my 55g and it seems fine. but we need to seperate those fish. his female looks like she may lay eggs again soon.

sorry for your loss Gerwin your in our thoughts

so i want the ammonia in there? i thought i wanted it to go away not rise? this is all to confusing.

ok just one or two flakes enough? i dont want the ammonia to spike again.
i have had enough up and downs i am so darn sick of it.

OK tested water 5 minutes ago and here is where it says i stand pH somehere between 6.0 and 6.4 it the dye doesnt quite match either number its inbetween the Nitrites are 0 the nitrates are 0 and the amonia is a 2.0

it just doesnt make since my 10 gallon crashed and burned the amonia was so high and G told me to clean my tank that was mostly likely the prob so i did and it didnt help it got worse so i had to move all the fish and take it down when i took it down I saw the prob. immediately he was right it was p...

I am done its over i give up completely. i am just screwed when it comes to this tank. i am just gonna put some fake fish and there and make it look good i dont give a crap anymore.

i started the tank out as cold water and used the goldfish for 5 weeks then i took them out and cleaned some water out and warmed up the tank and then i tried to start with sunset platies and they didnt make it. and the amonia just wont come down.
