i've never needed ammonia remover i alway over filter my tanks. Will it clear up on its own????

My 25 gallon tank started to get super cloudy about 2 days ago. I have no idea what is going on i do two 30% water changes and did one today to try to see if that would help. The tank is well established. Ammonia is 0 nitrites are 0 and nitrates are 5, everything else is fine. My puffers did kill th...

so i was on http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/diy_background.php tonight trying to figure out if i could install something like this into the tank i have now that is up and running. It is currently filled so i was trying to think about how i could do this without causing any harm. What if i took...

Well the little guy didn't make it but thanks everyone for trying to help. At least i learned a lot from it.

So after a few days of his belly being bright white he has lost his color again. he is just "pacing" in this one corner of the tank. he is eating fine and is belly is nice and round. the water parameters are Ammonia at 0 Nitrite at 0 Nitrates look to be at about 10 if i had to guess what c...

after all the panic of yesterday and multiple tests nitrates are actually down and my GSP seems great he has eaten great and is swimming around the tank like nothing was wrong to begin with. I also bought a 55 gal tank and have just started cycling it for him. thank you all so much for your help thi...

All i want is for this fish to be happy so i think maybe i will get a 55 gallon for him. I have had such good experiences with puffers before they really live up to their puppy dog reputations. Thanks for everyones help!

Well i will definitely up the tank size as soon as i can then. Thanks!

And now that i think of it i don't think i have seen him poop once. And i was using an expired test strip not sure how i still have those but i re-tested my water with a brand new kit and the only thing that is different is the nitrate is about 20.

I found a different strip test for Nitrate and it said its about 20 (i have a hard time judging the colors but that looks the closest). I have removed the cory and put him into a different FW tank. Now that i think about it i fed him beef heart first, could he possibly be constipated or something? I...

I got a Green Spotted Puffer approximately 2 inches about 1 week ago to add to my 25 gallon tank. He had a black belly when i bought him but seemed very lively and greeted me at the front of the tank. Since putting him in the new tank his color fluctuates from a completely white belly with very gree...
