I have a small sarpa(i think that's what it is) and when I bought it about a month or two ago it was marbled orange and black, now it is loosing it's black color very slowly over the span of a week nd is now almost completly orange. A similar thing happend to my koi about a year ago when she...

Ok....... um never heard the song before though.

All that so an API Freshwater Master kit, test every other day for the first week until the numbers hold then every 2 weeks, got it.

Well the man told me that the Nitrate was between 0 and 5, he even showed me the strip. How often should I test after I get the kit?

All right I'll go with out the buffer than.

No I didn't test for those I brought it in to my pet store to have things tested(they specilize in the fish depot) and had them test it although I am going to buy a testing kit.

Hi! I got my test results on my 10gal FW. Seriously I'm not lying these are the real results and I had them professionaly tested. pH 6.0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 2.5 and Ammonia 0. I bought some pH buffer to bring up the pH a little for my koi.

Alright, thanks. I'll get to the store as soon as possible.

Like I said before I'm sorry, I overacted, this week has been a bad one for me. I'll take the water and get it tested.

All right but I need to get testing products where are some good places to get them?

I'm sorry I did over react I just thought that he could of said things a little nicer. About a year ago my oldest koi(Aiko) had a bright orange and white marble color, she was living at my grandparents at the time, and then she slowly lost her orange color, this wasn't her being sick but I just...

I didn't call you or anybody idiot, I just had a problem with missleman because he realy ticked me off. My 2 koi(one is only 1in. the other is 4) are babies and are getting along fine in my 10gal along with 2 small sarpas and a snail, he hasn't seen my tank and so he wouldn't know what's working...

I know what effects pH, Nitrate, etc. all can have on a fish, I passed the 6th grade thank you very much. Like I said before I only came to this site because my fish were sick. I got my fish at fair although I love them very much. I don't test my water, I'm not a fish breeder or fish fanatic, I...

i know how big a koi gets, im not stupid, my koi is still small and when it is 3 feet long it will be outside but right now it is 2 small for that, it is getting along very well in the aquarium. and my tank is fine, if it needed to be cleaned more it would have murky water in it

thanks a bunch! :D
