Ok so I started on here 2 months ago and its been up and down for Zeus. He is no longer swimming on the bottom of the tank but yesterday he started piping again so i did another water change and added Stress Zyme and Stress Coat to the water. Today I checked the water adn my Ammonia level is...

No fabric stores...I'm on a military base in Iraq. Do I just assemble all that in a media container?

To jssong He is about 5-6 inch long and 3-4 inches wide. Did not notice anything unusual about the water. There was a piece of poop floating on the top of the water and I just did a 50% water change and fed him and he is eating and swimming around like normal. The tank was the same tank he...

The water is bottled water made on the base here in Iraq from the Tigris or Eurphrates rivers. There are no labels on it but he has been living in this water for 4 years now. The filters were completely caked when I got him and the water was fishy smelling an a lil green. So the old tank...

OK I have a 4 year old fancy gold fish that I just acquired from someone that could no longer take care of him. I came into work this morning and he is layin on the bottom of the tank by the front. When I walk up to the tank he swims but then comes right back down after a couple minutes... He...

Lynae - I'd LOVE to read a label off the bottle but unfortunetly there is isn't one. The water is bottled here in Iraq and is merely a plain plastic litre bottle of water that comes 12 to a clear plastic case. I'm sure it can't be the best water as it sits out in this hot sun for a long time and...

EscVelocity- Well that is good to know. I believe everything I order was for a 30gal tank size anyways as I wasn't really sure and know we took out a lil more then 10 gallons to move him. We did not clean the bio-wheels just floated them in tank while we cleaned out the filters. They were...

The tank has been set up for almost 2 days. The day after we set up the tank the water was clear and Zeus was good. That day we rinsed the rock in a collander and added to the tank. This morning tank was cloudy and he has been piping regularly all day. Yes the office is air conditioned, but...

The only thing that scares me about leaving the rocks in the aquarium is that he keeps piping at the top of the tank and he wasn't doing that before and the fact that the water looks more cloudy now. I like the look of just the river rocks on the bottom as I have it (not sure if you can see the...

Great Box idea JPKeenan It is a stressful situation being over here, mainly because I am away from family and friends, but being a military brat having spent most of my life overseas as well as having served in the Navy myself, I find this life style "normal". You learn to make the best of...
