Re: Sick swordtail
When did you get the GH up from 8?

If the BN is big it may think small shrimp are food (they are omnivores), so I woul...

Re: Sick swordtail
They're probably under stress. It may be that that they've come from poor stock, or that the tank is too small (I would only keep them in a tank that was longer than 3'6"), or a combination. I notice you've raised the GH to 12, so that should be ok for them - how are the other fish? Are they sh...

Re: Hi! New and confused
I would suggest putting the test tubes on a sheet of white paper to cut out the darkness of the surface.
