    Thanks for Positive and Uplifting Feedback and Encouragement. Kingfisher and Autumsky thank you so much for all your advice. Will read up on everything and do as much as I can to ensure these fish get the best care. So far all fish are doing very well and tank water has tested A-OK everyday...

    Good Water Water tested A-OK at Petsmart. Bought another serpae tetra (red minor) and three neon tetras and one catfish. The two hiding serpae tetras I had came out and swam around a bit with the new fish, but then went back to their hiding place behind the grass. New serpae is alone with...

    Thanks. Thanks. Will keep in touch after I go to PetSmart tomorrow. Very knowledgeable people there. The woman there told me she sold me two males, but it could be that it was a male and a female because only one fish comes out occasionally and the other never comes out. Could be pregnant.

    Yes Yes that sounds right. Will get the kit tomorrow and follow directions. It was assembled on Saturday 16th. Fish went in on Monday 18th. Problem with heater which I have since adjusted and figured out how to work. Two red minor tetra come out when I am not there. When I am in the room...

    Found missing fish I found the missing fish. The temperature is coming down slowly. Very quiet in tank with only two hiding tetras. When should I add more fish? What kind would you suggest for 10 gallons. Thanks.

    Didn't know Hi - The Topfin heater is not easy to use, not digital. There was no way for me to tell because the temperature was not showing. I think the heater is defective. I have a small temperature gauge which I am reading. I want to get a better heater. I am trying to bring temp. down...

    Brought temperature down I brought the temperature down by pouring in cold water because I had some room to do so. Then I poured in safe liquid. Temperature came down to 82 and I believe it will come down a little more as I turned know all the way counterclockwise and then adjusted slightly...

    Hello - I'm Skimmy just trying to start and maintain our first aquarium. 10 gallons and already having problems. Could not bring heat down below 90 and several neon tetras died. :( Trying to adjust Topfin heater. Any suggestions? Remaining two red tetras are hiding and not eating. Maybe...

    Heater hard to operate

    Started 10 gallon tank with Topfin heater and I turned knob to create a warmer environment from initial 68 degrees for new tetras. Well, heat went up past 90 and I couldn't get it down. Three Neon tetras died but two manna red tetras survived. Deeply saddened. Poured cold water into tank and...
