Mobil, BP Amoco, Shell, Philipps 66, Marathon, Clark, Citgo, Speedway, Thorntons, Gas City… Since winter is coming upon some of us, I don’t want to be fueling my tank with gas that has a lot of water added.
I have liquid and strips that I use, sometimes using both just to compare readings. In the case of my pH, my strips say it is at 6.4, whereas my liquid test says it’s closer to 7.8. How can they be that different? I would take it to my pet store, but they use the same strips that I do.
My other concern is that last night, with the exception of my pH, everything was at zero. Ammonia, nitrate and nitrite. They had all been a little above zero, but that’s expected since I had recently introduced a betta. Now they show they are all at zero, even the nitrate. I think I did something wrong in testing. Is it a good thing or a bad thing when they all drop to zero? Would it be safe to introduce another batch of fish, or should I wait a couple more days and continue to test the water?
I have a figure 8 puffer who has been acting kind of funny lately. I was out of the country for 10 days and I left him in the care of my dad who isn’t the most reliable fish keeper. Anyway, now that I am back my fish has been acting really weird. he wont eat anything, and he just swims up and down the wall of the tank right under the waterfall from my filter. I talked to the pet store guy and he thinks that hes hanging out there because there is more oxygen, but I have an air stone in my tank. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong with my fish? I think it might be a water quality issue, but I did a 30% water change when I got back and the ammonia is at 0.
why did you just call me that?! That is extremely rude and uncalled for
what are the differences between tank less and a instantaneous water heaters ?
