Woke up to look at my pretty fish and found it dead on the bottom of the tank...It didn't float. Don't they float when they die?Neither one floated and both died in less than a week.
What happened?I tested the salinity every day,I turned up the temp(80 degrees) and I didn't over feed.Its true I didn't test the water for ammonia,Nitrite or Nitrate.I ordered them(before I bought fish) and figured a couple days wouldn't hurt.Its also true I would not be sure what to do if they were to high.What do you do if they get high?
I was feeding 3 frozen Brine fish a day.Was it how I was thawing it?I used the microwave for 10 secs.I refuse to give up but I know I am not going to try again until I get a proper filter and tank.I know that the under gravel filter had to contribute to the failure but my question is was that all?I know other fish keepers have failures but its still hard loosing yet another fish!
