Aquarium Advice Freak
mantis said:I've checked the city water and nothing. Overstocked???? 11 fish in a 39 gal??? I'm amazed by this especially since my LFS keeps tellin me I can put up to 29 fish in there (never made it though). Another kicker is that a friend of mine bought the very same setup and is having identical situations. But shes lost her whole tank, cleaned it out twice!
Maybe you shouldn't be taking advice from this "expert". Alot of people working in aquarium stores and pet super stores don't know jack about keeping aquariums. I've found time and time again that the internet is the only way to solve your aquarium problems. Most of the time the people at the stores just give you thier time in order to make a sale. Even at the inch per gallon rule 29 fish in a 39g...come on?! Research, research, research. That's the best thing to do, if you plan on keeping aquariums it's a full time job that requires more research than buying a new car at times.
