Thanks!! However they, for most of time they remain at bottom only. Come up only when I feed them. :) These are my first fish. But I wanted more colorful and bigger ones in my tank.

Here's an image of my tank. Even with these (so many) fishes, my tank looks empty only :(

Oh, my bad. Thanks. Water: I change 20-30% water change every two weeks with Gravel vacuum. Water is all clear. Overcrowded? All the fishes are very small. How to calculate that tank is crowded?

Hi, 30 gn tank 4 Tinfoil 4 Koi 6 Tiger 1 Sucker 1 Angelfish + 1 Red Cap Earlier I had 4 Red caps, 3 died over a period of 2-3 months. I observed its tail was damaged too much. This happened with all Red Cap but one after the other, I separated it in a small bowl, without at...

Another thought, are my fishes *too small* for this tank / setup ??

Interesting, nope the outlet doesn't have any direction plate as such. But I was in an impression that the this outlet is intend cycle the water towards the filter inlet. If I (somehow) direct the nozzle towards the surface, hope it wont affect the filtering?

Thanks, The filter body exerts the millions of micro air bubbles. If you notice closely you'll see that in the pic. Moreover, I forget to add in my post, my tank do have an air pump, and a bubble strip, which i run occasionally.

Thanks - I searched internet and removed that fish in another bowl with same water from main tank, before i could treat it with rock salt or peas, it died. :( Hopefully its just one off a case and case of overeating?

This morning, one tiger barb from the school of 7, found swimming (neither resting at bottom nor floating at surface) upside down. Other fishes - One Black Angelfish and Tinfoils were going near to it -pushing it, playing with it, possibly picking it? But then I moved it immediately to a bowl...

I have 4 tin foil and 4 koi, size around 2 inches, 7 tiger barbs ~1inch. In 30 gn tank, when the lights are on, they are mostly at bottom. When I turn the lights off, I can see them moving all around. At feeding time, When I turn off the filter, I usually do that when I feed them, they...

It's a 30 gn tank. Except for one real bad day, I lost my 4 mollies one after other, I mostly find a dead fish in the morning every one or two weeks. I don't have any secondary tank, just a small fish bowl, that I use to separate a fish if I see it's not behaving normally.

Keeping fish since December only. Off the shelf tank with all the fittings. Stocked lots of fish within few days of setup. After my first fish died, only then I started reading about fish and all related stuff. Cycle the tank. Lot said about cycling, ammonia, nitrate etc, I am wondering what...

�� lost that pleco as well during the day (in separate bowl). The (dead) oranda was found floating in the morning. Something very fishy happen in night, day time ita all goody-goody.

I feel any one can have as many tanks they want, and they can -- as long as they want to be in fish business!! ������
