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...

I came home and my Molly is laying on the bottom of my tank curled barely breathing or moving. I moved him into a section on area in the tank so be wasnt bothered but don't know what to do to help! If I don't help soon be will most definitely die and I don't want that! Ease help! And before...

To be honest not really sure I had the one for about two years then about two or three weeks after I added a second one my original one turned up dead! I never saw them fight and the new one was smaller so to be honest i was more worried about that ones safety because the original was a bit...

I need help finding what fish to add to my existing tank. It's a 30gal and has two kuhli loaches (I believe), and an upside down cat fish. It use to have two angels also but unfortunately I lost them both. I am looking to find some fun active fish to add that are compatible. The last thing I...

I wasnt saying for you to do research just in general people don't take the welfare if their fish as important and they need to do research on the fish they would like to keep

True but it's a risky game throwing certain fish together and to many people lack compassion for the fish and see it simply as simple fish not living things. Sure there is always the exception to the rule but too many people don't know what they are doing or don't care! Only thinking of the...

JD's were not meant to live with certain fish. They are highly aggressive fish. i mean come on they were named after a famous boxer!! And that fact that people are willing to experiment with their fishes lives is sick! Stop seeing them as cheap fish and expensive fish they are living things and...

My jack ate my two beautiful electric blue haps! Along with many others! The only fish my JD allowed in her tank was a convict a quarter of her size and a green terror but only for about a year then I had to remove the terror to keep him from being eaten! In my experience JD's are to aggressive...

I would be careful if I were you with adding just any fish with your JD. I can't keep a Pleco with mine she torments it until she finally eats it! I also am currently having issues with tank mates she is picky and very aggressive so was the last JD I had. Very beautiful fish though! I'm actually...
