I have 5 fish tanks and never test the water, I do weekly water changes and my fish never die and none have had a disease yet. So why test water?

do you think its fair to say that all of any breed of dog is more dangerous than other breeds. I had a dog warden tell me the other day that my american staffordshire terrier aka pitbull should be put to sleep before it bites someone even though my dog has never biten anyone or any animal and she barley even barks. not to mention she two years old and only about 18 inches high and maybe 40 lbs. the warden proceeded to tell me that my dog is viscious and would turn on me at a moments notice. what do you all think.

I have three tanks. I know I have Ich in one tank, and I am afraid I have Ich in a second. I had ordered several fish online, and although I contacted the breeder when I discovered the ich asking them to hold my order, they apparently didn't get the message and sent the fish anyway. So Friday I received an order containing 17 small fish, (10 green fire tetras, 7 SAEs) which should have been distributed among the three different tanks. I had no choice and had to put them all into my 29 gallon tank. Fortunately, it was understocked with only 10 fish since I hadn't decided what to keep with my aggressive serpae tetras.

However, as I am sure you can guess, my previously perfect ammonia and nitrite levels have gone up. My ammonia levels look just under .25, but my nitrite levels look like about .2 . I did about a 30% water change on Satuday and a 35% one yesterday, I plan to do another big one today, and I added Nitro-bac, but is there anything else I can do to help?

I had three lemon tetras in a recently cycled tank. My readings all looked great, so, a week ago, I added five blue tetras. Instant Ich in three of the five blues. So I slowly turned up the heat and added salt, which has killed my plants, but the fish seem to be doing well. No more new cases of Ich; only one fish still has the spots. I would really rather not use medications if I can avoid it, as I keep freshwater shrimp. (I hadn't added them to this tank yet because it had finished cycling too recently, but I would like to down the road.)

When I discovered the ich in the tank, I immediately got paranoid and turned to the tank I had seeded it from. I was sure I saw a couple of white spots, so I turned up the heat and started adding salt. The next morning I couldn't find more than one fish with even the possibility of a spot. So I am not at all certain that there is ich in the second tank, but I am not sure how to determine if the tank is infected after all.

My tank is still cycling as its only been with fish for about 3 weeks. I have 4 african cichlids and an aglae eater.
My ammonia levels are going down and my nitrites are peaking which I know is normal. But they are REALLY high and Im worried about my fish. How long will it take for these harmful nitrites to turn into nitrates?
My levels are 0 ammonia, about 5.0 in nitrites and about 40 in nitrates.
I know it should be soon since the nitrates are high as well, but how long until my nitrites go down? I was advised to not do a water change until the cycle is completed. Please help before I lose my fish! Thanks!

Ok, my sisters fish is having problems this time. It keeps thrashing around the tank, then floating to the bottom, and swimming up to the top. It also keeps floating on its side and upside down. Is it dying, or does it have parasites or something? Any tips?
