Hi. First of all a happy new year to all and all the best for 2014 from sunny glasgow Scotland lol
I've just recently set up my 64 litre tank. Let it mature before adding any fish. I now have
3 rosy tetras
1 red tail shark
2 marble mollies
Now had problems with the clear gooey stuff growing so have been doing a 50% water change every day and seems to be getting better.
Now yesterday I changed it and then filled the tank to water line but a few hours later I noticed all my fish sitting at surface as if they were gasping for breath I knew straight away that there was something wrong when the shark was at the surface as he never goes there and always feeds at bottom or middle.
The filter I have is one of these over hang ones and the filtered water wasn't breaking the water. So I quickly took a bit of water out and now there is bubbles and fish are back to normal and seem really happy. But tank water isn't where it should be.
What is best solution for filteres or should I go with airstone?
As you can see on picture the tank is far from full but for now the survival of my fish is really important
