For thise who have been seeing my posts around for the last few months have known I have had every possible issue you can basically get in this hobby, most recently I have good news! My ladt issue was extremely high nitrites. Fixed the problem with water changes and stability and a few more plants, cut back on feeding. Only issue rn is my ebjd is acting a bit “lazy” i dont see whats the issue, i know they can randomly drop dead. It eats regularly but doesnt swim around as much as it usually did, im going to keep aneye on it. Just tested water everything was perfect. Either wAy im happy i didnt give up with all the issues. Had ick 4or5 times lost hundreds of dollars of fish (before i knew about this forum). I was hesitant about joining bc people told me new members get messed with and the senior people make stuff up to mess with people like me. I hope its not true. But heres a pic of my 60gal. Hopefully my fish stay healthy. My peacock has almost tripled in size in 2 weeks. I can hand feed him?

That's great to hear! Totally a myth that Veteran members are here to mess with anyone.?

Glad it’s working out.
I guess I would be considered one of those members.
Although I don’t have 10,000 plus posts I’ve been here from very early on.
I believe there’s enough knowledgeable folks on here that if someone is spreading false information the others would call them out pretty fast.
It’s one of the reasons I love MFK.
It’s not like a lot of other places on the net where there is so much garbage spread around.

Where did you hear this? I have a feeling it was on fishlore.com
 
Mfk is probably the most reliable fish website online with the lowest tolerance for bs. Glad you joined so we get to help you learn and vice versa. Tank looks good! Happy it’s leveling out. Ich is one huge pain in the butt. I once got it in my 550g and it cost me $370 to dose it for a month because it was so persistent. Hope everything continues to go smoothly!
 
Lol, it's not the old guys you need to watch out for on here, it's the young uns that do your head in, what with their cavalier approach, unbridled passion and downright zany antics, lol.

Seriously though, it's a hell of a site to learn stuff about the hobby.
