Whenever I test the ph in my aquarium, it’s always like 7.6-8.0, which seems awfully high. I can’t determine what is causing the problem. I do a weekly 40% water change. I vaccuum the gravel as best I can, but I don’t want to remove everything because otherwise my Cory won’t have anything to eat. I feed the fish every other day, either bloodworms, brine shrimp or Tetleys flake food.

My aquarium is a 6 gallon and I have 4 fish in there now and don’t plan to add any more. 1 female betta, 1 little albino cory and I added a couple little otos who help keep the algae in check. It’s a marineland system 6 that came with a pretty powerful filtration unit that seems to do a good job. I’ve also added an airstone and a heater and keep the temp pretty steady between 78 and 83 (it goes up a bit during the day). I have a couple plastic plants and some smooth gravel. Fish all seem happy and energetic.

Maybe my tapwater is just naturally alkaline? I do treat it before adding it to the tank.

My sea monkey just evolved into a sea man. It is starting to pollute the water around itself and will kill itself and its children in ignorance. It won’t acknowledge me, but I decided to save it at its last moments. Did I do good?
so not one of you even got the analogy of evolution’s dark destiny and God’s intervention? wow! no wonder society is, well, wack!

I have a tank with a blue jack dempsey and a “bla bla” cichlid (thats what they called it, i dont know if its the technical name) it has a lot of colors around his eyes. The problem is that they arent eating. I tried cichlid sticks and granules, i also tried brine shrimp but they arent eating much especially the jack dempsey…what should i do?

There is a step on the seamonkey instructions to make sure they have oxygen. Should I do this? The instructions say to dump the whole tank into another container. Then Pour them back. However, mine is seamonkeys on mars. It has little Oxygen wholes at the top. The Problem is water leaks out the wholes and gets all over and I lost 1 seamonkey and dont wanna loose anymore. They are stil little baby sea monkeys. Has anybody’s seamonkeys died from not doing this? THANKS!

I have tried several times to decapsulate my Brine shrimp cysts and when I put them to the hatching container most of them stuck to the upper part of the hatchery. Yielding low hatch result.

I have tried with less cyst,…it still happens. It seems to hatch better w/o decaps.

Any advice please? Thank you.
