Hi
I've had fish for about 2 years now but I've had a couple of fishes die over the years. I'm quite disciplined with water changes, filter changes and testing with the API Masterkit etc. But I have a few questions. Some of them are pretty silly
My signature has the details on what tank I have and what fish.
- I read that we need to feed fish with a variety. So I have some tubifex works, general flakes and sinking vegetable pellets. Do i feed one type of food per day or do I mix it all together and feed the variety every day?
- My heater is set to maximum (30C/86F). I put a thermometer in the far side of the tank and its reading (22/71.5). I'm thinking this might be too cold for the fellas. Shall I get a new heater and crank it up highher so that the furthest end of the tank will be about 28C?
- If the fish seem ok, is there any reason to add tonic salt to the water? I heard that this is beneficial to fish health? I'm just a bit nervous about adding stuff to the water?
- This is a really stupid question. I have a few small figurine toys from games and science fiction. Can i put these in the tank or is that a really BAD idea lol
Thank you all
