Hey there. Am relatively new to the aquarium biz. I have just 2 tetras in a 5 gallon hex tank. When I change out the water I put the stuff in that takes all the chlorine and harmful stuff out of the new water and also add the salt. They seem healthy, but I'm going to petsmart today and...

Thank you! Do you know how to upload photos of my tank? I want someone to tell me what this other tetra is. I adopted him when the family moved and left him.

I am a newbie and have 2 tetras, one neon, one I don't know. What is the purpose of turning off their light at night? I mean, do they sleep when it's dark, or just whenever? The neon especially seems grayish in the morning but after a few minutes brightens up. thanks!

thank you so much! I will get a test kit. Is 3 too many fish to add at once? And what would that have to do w/them dying? So if there was an ammonia spike and then I put the new filter in, would that help to bring it back to normal?

:( Hi. I am not a fan of caging any living thing so I have never had an aquarium, but a neighbor moved and left her one fish so of course I brought it home. The aquarium is a 5 gallon hexagon shape and contained one fish that I researched and found to be some sort of tetra. Thought he was...
