Hi all,
I have a tank that was cycled for several weeks before getting our new neon tetras. We had 6, sadly one died near the filter after about 3 days (we've now had the fish for just 9 days). One developed a white spot/lump under the mouth around the same time and I've given a dose of anti-fungal treatment. No other fish are affected.
My question is this: the pH and ammonia levels are ok but I have only seen how to change the water properly via YouTube today, ie by using a siphon. I'd scooped water out via a jug (I know, I know). I've bought a siphon now and was wondering if it would cause any harm to give the gravel a good clean tomorrow and change the water again as it's been less than 48 hours since I'd replaced the water in the tank.
Another question, how much water should I place into the tank? Does it matter if the water output from the filter is covered? I'm such a newbie, please be gentle with me! T
Thanks in advance.
