its that time of year again babey!! francis askig for help bc of a goldfish tank cycle crash!!! yeehaw!!

dumpling and tsukki r still goingg strong!! pingu died :,( i got winnie (Big calico Boye) and corduroy (smaller blue calico Boye). corduroy had a mouth deformity that i did surgery on to make it possible for him to eat and hes Thriving.

i got the noodle men yesterday bc i was Unaware of this cycle crash. kids, test ur water every week at least. ive dosed the tank w seachem prime to keep things nontoxic. so. here we are.

here are the current parameters:

tank size: 75 gallons

ammonia: .5ppm

nitrite: .5 ppm ish

nitrate: 20 ppm

pH: 7.4ish

i dont even know whos still active in the fishkeeping dungeon of tumblr so please if u see this tag someone else too. thanks love u💕

Fishblr, I need some advice. I have had this 75g filled and running for three years now. My dad got it used for cheap so I have no idea where it was before or how old it is. It came with its stand and everything. I just finished emptying it because we are moving, and it was only when I was draining the last few inches of water that I noticed these two cracks, one on the front and one on the back (both on the bottom trim) almost exactly across the tank from each other. Honestly, I don’t know when they appeared. For all I know, it’s been there since I got the tank and I never noticed because I’m not super observant. It has been there for at least two years though, because I went back and found the oldest picture on my blog (which was a deep clean of this tank) and the crack is definitely on the front. Am I right to assume that the cracks are likely from a stress point on the stand? I have no way to check how level it is right now (there is no room to put the tank separate from the stand right now). If it is a stand issue and I resolve it after we move, do you guys think the tank would still be fine? The crack goes all the way under the tank and essentially separates the trim into two separate pieces. It's held water for this long, obviously... But I don't know if it's worth taking the chance? I've never replaced a tank frame/trim before...

after a bit of finagling with the light fixture and masking tape, this is my temporary solution to the fry debacle! i didnt have a breeder's net or box, but i figured this was close enough. it's a pretty big net, and there's (currently) only three fry in it, so i think it'll work well for a while. they also have a fake plant for added security. hopefully all goes well, and i'll set up a tank to separate them out by sex when the time comes!

When the light catches their scales just right…
