Just read the stickie...I have a 10 gal...bio wheel 100...nitrate 0...kh 80...ph 7.2...water is soft...tank has been up since 04/26/12...t neon tetras...in since 05/04/12...1st water change was...05/06/12...25%...2nd was today...50%...so changing water weekly...they eat flakes daily and dried...

We have had the same neon tetras for a week now and this weird enough because we have suffered a high fatality rate since we set up the tank a few weeks ago...well this brave bunch have survived two water changes...one was 25% and the one I did today was 50%...water was really cloudy so the 50%...

You were so right thank u so much....funny too lol...he proved himself alright...he is stronget than ever....can i call a fish mighty mouse?...lol j/k

Will do thanks....the last remaining fish appears to be caught in a current..is there anything I can do about that?

Yes...I only started there because it was late and the goldfish I purchased originally were from pet smart and they died as well. I agree...when we were in the store last night the guy was filling the bags with tap water...I asked him to fill mine with the tank water...he went to knot the bag...

Only thing I haven't figured out (mind you this is just based on what I have been reading here) is how long to do this for and what to do once it is done...do I just net him into the new tank or do I still have to do a bag transfer?

What I just did was took out about 20% of the water from the 1 gal tank and put some water from the new tank into a sport bottle and it is dripping into the 1 gal tank. Should I not be doing this..and to answer your question ccross, yes I have a heater and the current temp on new tank is 74. It...
