Im not getting more fish right now. I have two danios and a neon tetra in the tank right now. I did take the free dwarf frog since he does dwell mostly on the bottom anyways. I did a 50% water change as i was sucking out all the debris with a baster. My water is much clearer now. I am reading...

I went to the store and they gave me tons of information about my fish that me and my mom didnt even know. They were very informed and i actually got to talk to the owner! He gave me a new dwarf frog for free and walked around with us as he pointed out different things that would be helpful for...

None of their gills are red. My first sign that something was wrong was when i noticed my neon tetras were almost while and had barely any blue or red coloring to them. I left the light on for a few hours and their color returned... Obviously not for long since they are dead now. I figured...

I am taking the water and the frog and the dead fish and the alive but sick fish with me tomorrow. I called early this morning about my frog dying and they said i had to bring the body in for my money back. And im taking the fish and water i to definetly find out what is going on. I know they...

I just got the tank set up 12 days ago and i just got the fish this past tuesday. My mom had a tank for 10+ years and she cleaned it ever two weeks unless it really needed it and she syphoned (i hope i spelt that right) every few weeks too with half the water. She change the full water and gave...

I can only have less than a three gallon tank in my apartment. I find it odd that you say my tank is only suitable for snails. My tank actually says on it that its best for the tiny tetras and guppies. The frog actually died AFTER i noticed the tetras acting funny. And both tetras had turned...

I think my only frustration right now with this is that i've NEVER heard of cycling in my life and all my family members have had a tank at some point in their lives for 10+ years and never heard of it either. My mom thinks i'm over thinking what I need to be doing for my tank. Alot of my...

Thank you so much for responding quickly! I have seperated the sick ones in a cup, I dont have a seperate tank for them or anything. I'm going to the pet store tomorrow and I'm still going to have them test my water there but i'm also going to buy a liquid test kit for myself. I'm also going to...

My frog just acted the same way and died! He was 6 days old to my 10 day old aquarium. I found this very upsetting because I had dwarf frogs previously and they lived for 2 years. He was swimming on the surface the same way you descibed but he died on the bottom. Now two of my neon tetras are...

I'm new at aquariums. My mom has been helping me because we had a 10 gallon when I was little. I bought a 1.5 Gallon tank. I set it up 10 days ago and ran the filter for 3 days before I bought fish. This past tuesday, I bought 3 neon tetras and 2 danios (zebra fish) and a dwarf frog. Last night...
