Why are my fish dying? I have 10 neon tetras, 10 black neon tetras, 2 golden tetras, & 7 tiger barbs in a 29g tank. Every day I lose at least one fish. I had other neons that I removed because they were less colorful than some new neons I brought in. They looked that way even in the store. I'm...

Thanks for all the help guys! I will try my best to cycle my tank successfully. Wish me luck! In the meantime, my new light fixture came in yesterday. It's a Jalli a18 with 55w compact fluorescent bulbs. I spent nearly $190 for the fixture and bulbs! And it took a week to come in. The box and...

Hello all! I'm new to this site and also to aquariums in general. I have very basic aquarium knowledge, my husband knows much more, but not a whole lot about planted tanks. He decided to surprise me a few days ago by setting up our old 29G with some fish and plants within only two days of adding...
