Cycle Your Aquarium with Seachem Stability

How to use Seachem Stability. My honest Seachem Stability review. Start by shaking the bottle thoroughly and then open it and does one Full of product for every 10 gallons of aquarium water. And then for every day after that does half of one Full for seven days straight. Don’t forget you will also need a dose of ammonia to feed the nitrifying bacteria.

55 gallon tank . Stocking ideas? I want some larger fish not small ones . No smaller than 3 inches max size preferably. Currently have 1 gold gourami (female) 1 male opaline gourami ( in quarantine tank) 1 male 3 spot gourami (in quarantine) 2 black skirt tetras , 1 balloon belly molly (in quarantine) and I have a baby clown pleco I plan to add (he’s currently in a 10 gallon to grow out) also I was told the pleco will only get about 3 inches is this true.

Should u introduce a predator fish to your tank to keep numbers down, example guppies breed like crazy.

My female betta is in a 5 gal. She has a posse of 3 ghost shrimp that she loves. She kills fry and neocaradina shrimp though. She also kills all snails. My 2 male bettas just tolerate snails. I did just start a neocardina shrimp tank. I figured if population explodes my bettas, long fin tetras, barbs, and cichlids wouldnt mind fresh food.

There’s no problem with that. I have a few tanks that have several breeding species in them. I don’t do anything with the fry. They’re just food supplements. They’re a better source of live food than anything else.

No I would not get a specific fish to help keep the Guppies from over breeding. For several reasons. I would separate the males and keep them all and give away or sell/trade the females! The males have most of the color anyway.

As long as you pick something that won’t go after the adults and you’re not already seriously overstocked, sure. My platies sure love eating fry. You could get single male. A small gourami or female betta would probably also be happy to help. Or maybe clown killifish.

If I had guppies, and they bred too many fry, I would separate the males from the females with a divider or second tank, and sell the babies or maybe even keep some and sell some, option 2 would be to feed the fry to my meat eaters, but keep meat eaters in secondary tank also, as to not stress out the guppies or cause harm to all of them.

I have a 40 with tigar barbs and a 20 with 3 guppies and 1 is pregnant sadly my tigar barbs don’t eat other fish, they might bully one or 2 but I want something to eat the babies so I don’t end up with 50 fish in a 20g.

I did. It was out of control. I got myself a Kribs. That was under control for awhile. Until one day my male kribs was added to the female krib. Felt sorry that she was the only one. Slowly the guppies were all gone. The kribs had babies. Now they are taking over. Kribs even live long. So now I’m stuck with them. (Which is ok). I got another aquarium now to seperate the parents. To keep there population under control.

Sorry to ask a question on someone else’s post, just following as I have bristlenose breeding like rabbits but I also have neon tetras so angel fish would eat them to wouldn’t they?

Being completely honest here – putting any type of fish in 1.5 gallons will lead to sadness. Maybe not for you, but 100% for the fish lol.

I reccomend 20 gallons as a good starter tank. Unless you are only getting a betta. Then 5-10 gallons would be fine. Basically only (some types of) snails and shrimp can go in there.

Bettas are fine in a 1.5… they don’t actually need 5gal. As a matter of fact, they lived longer lives when they were kept in smaller aquariums. Most bigger aquariums have too much water movement and their fins make it hard to swim. They get worn out and sick.

But there’s a lot of people who clean aquariums but like someone else had said they mostly look to do high end tanks/aquascapes. Do you not have time to clean or has it been a while since doing it? Where are you loacated? How big is tank/s?

Seachem stability reviews are very good. Leah how to use Seachem Stability.!

But while tanked is a super cool show and they do a lot of good work, I’ve seen way too many episodes where they over stock tanks, where they put schooling fish alone in a tank, or where their tanks are in places (like a laundromat) that are just super unsafe to have an aquarium. I feel so bad for some of the fish they put in people’s tanks.
