46 gallon is a decent size, and the Neon tetra's are really small. Why only 15?

What are you thoughts/take on this? The latest store I am going to has a lot of interesting fish; the ones that really catch my eye turns out to be modded fish. For instance there are these fish where they have neon colors on the top and bottom of them (not Neon Tetras). Turns out I learned...

About a week, maybe more.

Comment/Question: Iman it would seem from reading this that you know something went wrong when adding fish. Everyone is just throwing in their two cents. Response: I am aware of that, but when you get mixed advice, and you are confused, not to mention I lost all my fish I tend to get a bit...

Thanks for the reply but now I am getting mixed advice (in comparison to a different thread); granted there is no one-way to do everything. Here is the thing, this happened before so I went to the extreme. Everything was removed from tank, and I mean everything: bought new gravel, bleached ALL...

when you do a pwc what do you use a bucket ? No I use that Python syphon that you hook directly up to your faucet. I flush it out, and refill it with that thing. There was no sudden PH swing, but I appreciate the suggestions. I am really confident it was a disease for many reasons, which...

I have made a previous thread ask what happened, causes, and what should I do. But now all but one (last one I give 24hrs) I am now with a tank but no fish. I know I made some sudden changes, but I feel in my gut these changes should have not wiped out my entire stock. So with that said I...

They are all dead. Might as well lock this thread now.

Right, but the water was not changed for a few days prior to this. These deaths were all sudden. The PWC took place "after" the deaths. Not to mention I use the Python pump, so I add the treatments right before I fill it back up so it's in there, and then let nature takes it course. This is how...

Next how large is the tank? 20 gallons City Water? Yes Dechlorinator? We remove partial water, add enough for a 20-gallon tank, and add water and it's done. Child? 3-year-old daughter, but knowing her I doubt she did anything. Heater? Before the PWC 74/75 degrees. After the PWC 80 degrees...

It is a 20 gallon tank and its city water. We use Stress Coat after we change the water. I changed the insert in the fish tank filter near the time. No one else goes near the tank, our daughter is 3 but she doesn't touch the tank. The room is warmer than the rest of the house but the heat...

Today when my wife came home we found three of our fish stuck to the intake of the filter and our clown pleco dead at the bottom of the tank. The three fish that were on the intake were purchased at the same time and the clown pleco was new (2 days). They were fine in the morning and our two...

Okay here is what I been told/know. I have about 30 minutes to get the fish from the pet store via bag to my tank in 30 minutes. During that time consists of the driving, 10 minutes adjusting to water temperature, and making quick preparations from out of the bag to the tank. However, there are...

There is no doubt it's my fault for having that, but besides vacuuming it up, my buddy was telling me I can buy a fish that will clean the bottom of the tank. I am interested in getting this in addition to an algae eater: what should I look for? I get small community fish in a 20 gallon tank.

Well guys, since my last post things have been going good for the most part. I am still 4 community fish strong in my 20 gallon tank, all levels are pretty much where they should be: ph 7.6 (not sure why), Ammonia and Nitrite 0, and Nitrate .5 and holding. However, probably because I have the...

Nitrates are showing signs of change The color now after several weeks is somewhere between yellow and orange. Now the question is, now do I continue with the everyother PWC's or do them once a week? How often would you recommend testing the water; I love the fish but this testing the water...

Update and I need advice. Since this post I have been consistantly checking the water every single day, and PWC everyother day. With that said today is Tuesday and the Sunday prior I bought 3 more community fish to bring the grand total to 5 community fish in my tank. Now today is Tuesday...

Okay, I am now with 2 fish, the tank redone about a little more than 2 weeks. This past Sunday I cleaned the gravel of the excessive food, which also counts for my partial water change. I also added 4 caps full of Aqua Plus Tap Water Conditioner for I believe it's similar to the Primer I was...

I just want to say I appreciate getting clear cut answers. Every book, every site, said a little here and there but left so many questions. You guys answered them all in a clear concise manner. Thanks!

Thanks so much guys. I just need clarification on a few things: 1. You said the only chemical you suggest is Prime. Can you give me a brand or more on that? Prime is a bit vague. 2. You said till it's fully cycled. How do you really know when is that? I really need specifics, for this in...

A direct answer to. Let me start by giving a brief history on my fish tank and me. Shortly before the new year 12/31/05 I bought a 20gallon tank w/everything I need. About 8/06 every fish I put in the tank just dies. So something tells that there is something seriously wrong. So I completely...
