Great, thank you

What causes that?
is there anything I should do to help him? or to avoid it in the future?

Hello, My GSP seems to be doing pretty good other than the fact that he has this white clump on the top of his pectoral fin, Here is a picture of it.. http://img801.imageshack.us/i/pufflx.jpg/ It's kinda hard to see...on his right side, his fin is not clamped at all though, only when he is resting o...

That is very true, but luckily we've got well water

Believe me I'm going to. i do have API brand liquid ammonia testing kit and the test strips i bought are also API

I'm going to get the master kit as soon as i can (hopefully in a few days) I was a little tight on money, I'm doing the best I can right now

I'm glad the prime will not slow the cycling process :D I picked up a bottle today and dosed accordingly during a water change, I also picked up some 5 in 1 test strips for nitrite and nitrate when i got home the nitrite read 0 and nitrate seemed closest to 20ppm I just tested the water and I can't ...

I've just measured the ammonia level again, it's between 0ppm and 0.25ppm now and I'm sorry it was not 1ppm before it was between 0.5ppm and 0.75ppm

Hello everyone, let me first explain my situation, I received a walmart GSP for my birthday from my girlfriend, she does not know anything about fish/aquariums etc. but she knew I wanted an aquarium very badly. At walmart they lied to her and told her the 1.5 gallon tank was fine, and to feed it tro...
