Water QualityAmmonia (0 ppm): Perfect and safe.

Nitrites (0 ppm): Perfect and safe.

Nitrates (25 ppm): Safe level, though you should do a water change soon to keep it below 20 ppm.

Water ChemistrypH (7.4): Ideal for guppies and very good for most corydoras.

Alkalinity (120 ppm): Good buffering capacity to stop the pH from crashing.

Hardness (25 ppm): Soft water.

Guppies prefer harder water (150+ ppm), while corydoras like soft water.

I added a wall bubbler today and some root tabs for the plants .

Are they struggling and if so with what ?

What would you do different in this guppy tank? Lots of live and artificial plants , pothos and Monstera . Gravel and sand substrates , driftwood . I am running a forced filter and a large sponge filter . I would like to change my light. I would prefer something that shows the guppy color better. What would you suggest ?

Tank is primarily guppies

Also contains 4 mollies ( thanks to my daughter ) and 6 corydora.

This fish isn't mine but trying to figure out what's going on? Is this normal ? Is it pregnant?

Stays on the bottom of tank , sifting through the sand , spitting it back out , rubbing it's stomach in the substrate.

Only swims about 7 inches up in the tank then returns to the substrate.

Any advice ?

Thanks in advance 😊

The other cats are all behaving normally. This guy has been doing this for 24 hours now . What's going on ?

Established tank , I performed a 30%water change after discovering this behavior. The water change made no difference .

Tank mates include other corydora, guppies , neon tetra and snails.
