They do not sink that much, there swimming isnt too affected

After feeding i noticed my neon tetras were bloated, is it eggs, the fact they have been fed or a disease? Any help please tell me, they seem to sink to the bottom. thanks in advance for comments

I just put sand in my tank, it wasn't cloudy but I used kiln dried silica sand, the stuff that goes between bricks on a drive, looks great!

They look pregnant, look into it because if you want to keep the babies you need to separate the fry after birth, or they will be eaten!

I plan to replace my large pebble substrate (i thought it was a good idea at the time...) with a sand substrate tomorrow. My question is are there any plants/fish that go well with sand, My stocking levels are low and I will use this as an excuse to purchase some more fish. Also, is sand good in...

Okay, thanks

So, as far as you know, there arent any killer chemicals in sand?

Whilst at my lfs, the guy recommended sand for my tank, my dad, being cheap, asked if silica sand would be okay from a buliders merchants. The guy googled it and said it might work, i just dont want to do anything that would kill my fish, would it be safe?

Yes, i have used it many times before and never a problem, looks like its the sponge. My angel fish have just died and some of the others, is there any way to rectify the problem before the tank is empty?

Just based on torn fins and i treated the whole tank A new sponge, saying that makes me wonder then, it was just a normal sponge, and i gave it a quick rinse in old tank water. Whats the chances it'll all clear up then?

Okay, its about 22 gallons, ph is 7.4, ammonia, nitrates and nitrites are 0. I have two angel fish, 4 penguin tetras, 7 black phantom tetras, 4 neon tetras, 3 guppies and 2 ottos. The angel fish are small though and i have checked to see if it is overstocked, but i havent added fish for 3 or 4...

Did a 20 percent water change and added some ich treatment today, 2 hours later, 3 dead fish, none acting normally, HELP

It generally says on the bottle or box, so check that, its hard to say as there are lots of ich treatments, what type is it?

Well i will give them some time and see if it goes down

Yeah, it has just been added so it could be something from the lfs or it could be stressed, i didnt think of that, thanks
