So, typical newbie mistakes made. Got a tank, put in some water, got some fish. All three lost within 3 weeks. I've done some research and am ready to start over. We'd like some peaceful school fish with color.I'm looking at white clouds, danios and tetras. I'm going with artificial...

Well..... just got home and Lightning was face up in the filter intake... :cry: not sure what I'm going to do now... think I'll read the threads on stocking a 10g properly and start over the RIGHT way...

yes, it does.

Well, today I noticed tiny white spots on Lightning's tail and fins. Looking it up...

So far, so good with Lightning. He seems to be thriving. I can see now we're gonna need a bigger tank... any links or references to some tips on "aquascaping"?? I can see I need to move everything away from the corners - he likes hanging out there. Hoping to get the real test kit this...

Okay, daily pwc for 4 days. Lightning (the last goldie) has been kind of "thrashing" around, more like shuddering. He seems to like swimming against the current the filter makes, but he's also swimming against or even at the walls more recently. He definitly gets excited when we come home and...

Another one gone.. Well, Darth :vader:(the pleco) didn't make it :(. Went to pet store and got a test kit. Ammonia was in stress level, so I did partial water change and brought it down to safe! All the other tests came out okay, except the KH was 80, Gh was 75, while the pH was 7.2. How do I...

Daily water changes? Wow - I haven't read that before. Because we didn't cycle, right? The link on cycling was informative - thank you. We're already looking at getting a bigger tank. Again wishing we would have researched ahead of time on stocking our free fish tank. Probably would have started...

Hi - new here and hoping for some answers! We aquired a 10g tank from some friends and bought our first fish over the weekend - two goldfish and what we were told was a pleco (I'm pretty sure it is at this point). The pet store lady sold us what she said was the best filter for a 10g tank. We...
