I will share my stupid mistakes that I made!!!!!!
I first got a 6 gallon tank. I put 1 goldfish, 1 dwarf gourami, 1 ADF, and one yellow gourami. to make is short. All fish died except my yellow gourami. I then read up more on fish and decided I wanted to try to do this RIGHT. Well, I got my 29 gallon tank, and stocked it with my yello gourami, blue gourami, 4 mollies, and 4 platies. They all died again. A few months ago I found out that my heater(I got it that came with it) was only for a 10-15 gal. tank(and I had that in a 29 gallon tank??? 8O ). The reason I didn't notice this before was I had the heater and therm. right next to eachother. I put them on seperate sides of the tank before.
I then had my live plants. They ALLLLLLLLL died too. I got the bulb for it and everything. Well when I replaced the bulb a few weeks ago I noticed that it was the WRONG bulb. It wasn't for plants like the box had said!!!
Now I know why everything went wrong and I have everything fixed now(I hope!!!)
