Hello from India,
All of a sudden started this hobby on Dec 22nd with a big tank and many small fishes and soon realised that should ve studied before jumping in it, its time to learn a lot of stuff, which am trying to do with a great place like this.
My off-the-shelf 30 gallon aquarium came fitted with a filter, heater and LED lights. Decorated with gravels, few big stones and couple of artificial plants. Some issue with the air bubble machine and is yet to be delivered.
Fishes:
4 gold dust mollies - all died one after other with in few hours, they stayed for 7-8 days. Noticed swollen lower lips. :-(
4 red caps - yesterday found one with what i assumed with eaten fins. Now learnt that it is fin rot.
2 white angels - both died. one on 2nd day only another three days back. :-(
2 black angels - one died, yest.
8 tiger barbs - one died -two days back, found partially eaten.
4 tin foil barbs
4 Koi s
Guess something really bad happening with the tank (off course with my zero knowledge). My kids become very sad every time they see their fish in trouble (or die).
I am going thru forums - and to my wonder this forum is having each and every topic /question that come to my mind, covered in one or the other thread. Hope will learn something new that'll keep my fish (and kids) happy.
