That's what I assumed until it hit my catfish who I have had for a while, but I continue to check the water and do partial water changes. So far so good. We are moving in a few months and once we are settled I will think about restocking if I haven't lost anyone else. Sent from my iPhone...

My catfish I had for 4-5 years and the others about a year. I honestly don't know the lifespan of my upside down catfish but they didn't seem like they lived a full life. Though I didn't consider that Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

On average I do at least a 25%-50% change just about weekly sometimes it's 10 days with my work schedule but I have been doing it that way for years and they have been fine. The only difference that I can possibly think of is either when I introduced two new fish or when started getting my...

Yes a liquid reader and I took it to the store for them to do as well. I'm not home so I don't have it but everything was ok. The Ammonia was a fraction high but I literally just removed a dead fish. It's been retested since and that was fine. I plan to retest the water later. I wonder if...

No co2 . Everything seemed fine then I lost a fish randomly, I would do a partial water change clean out the filter and everything would be fine then a few weeks would go by then another, now it's less time in between. I don't notice anything off about them heifer I find them dead and I have...

They look dead, no symptoms that I noticed just dead. No markings no redness. Some mollies, tetras, and the most recent was my upside down catfish. I have had him forever! It was always a peaceful tank and fun to watch because everyone got along and was active. Sent from my iPhone using...

The same flakes and pellates I have for years. Every once in a while a couple of the fish share a few mini frozen brine shrimp. But that hasn't changed in years either. I don't know if something has changed in my house water but I always treat the water before it goes into the tank. I did add a...

Would those things come up in a normal test kit? I usually test for nitrates, ammonia, chlorine, etc.. I wanted to do a full water change and start fresh with the tank so I figured if I did that I'd need to recycle it before i reintroduced my fish Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My tank that I have had set up for over 5 years is suddenly having issues. I have lost 4 fish in a month and can't figure it out. I tested the water and even brought a sample to my local store for their opinion. They said everything was fine and thought maybe another fish had brought in...

No I didn't buy out of the same tank I bought from another tank in the store which apparently was still a mistake ! It's not a coincidence that my fish got ich and that's what the other tanks had in the store. I now don't know what the cloudy eye is or how to treat it Sent from my iPhone...

So I finally decided to put fancy goldfish in my 55gL tank and I went the the fish store I generally go to. I picked them out but he recommended I not buy one of them that he said they had ich. Do I didn't buy him or anyone in that tank. It was two days after I got them home that I noticed one...

Thank you everyone! I like I'm going to keep the same that is already in the tank and depending on the exact ones I find to with 3-4 assuming they will have enough room. I might start with three and see how they are enjoying the space I hate overcrowding a tank. The is so much for all the...

Yes I still have cichlids that I love but figured I'd put my other tank to use. I know they are easy but I think they are interesting but I have no idea how many can go in a 55 which type can go with who and if sand is ok. The Internet so far has only given me mixed info so I figured I to right...
