It really is worse than crack

Sweet goldy in yor avatar! Welcome to AC!

Sorry for your loss :(. I would use a 10% bleach solution.

he means put a sponge over the intake. This will lessen the flow.

Dying shortens their lifespan by a drastic amount. I would personally buy glofish, though they are banned where I live. My only scruple is that they not be mixed with the unmodified member of the species.

What sort of test kit are you using? What is the ammonia level?

Hey Katuuz. Have you read about fishless cycling? That way no fish get hurt. http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81388

As a cycled tank reads 0/0/nitrates at any given time, I don't know how moving water over would help? Why not toss in food?

Actually, fish are known to live longer and healthier lives in tanks than in the wild. They also tend to inhabit a portion of their habitat, not the full lake/river/etc. So these are not inhumane pratices. Also, these are captive-bred fish we are talking about. One thing we certainly know is...

Congratulations!!

The water contains little to no bacteria. Use filter media, transfer decorations or substrate. Also, add an ammonia source to keep alive the bacteria currently in the tank, and test your tap for nitrates to make sure it isn't a false reading. If you are using water from your angelfish's tank...

If you choose to do the above, check for chloramine in your water.

Actually, we have had this discussion many times-search the forum for the results. Fish nipping can be a sign of being cramped-or it can be a sign that the other fish is overly aggressive-and/or it could be a fish asserting dominance. I agree that you can't reprogram fish, and that trying to do...

LMAO

Yup, a while back when I asked if the water was pretreated that's what I meant-if trace minerals and KH buffering was added to it. While the water should still stay fairly soft, it is bad for both the animals and the fish not to. There are very few fish that can survive in basically pure R/O...I...

A confused, beautiful girl.

CONGRATS!!

I would give it a scrub with bleach and/or pure ammonia. Just letting it dry out will probably allow the disease to survive. Another safety measure would be boiling.

Thank ya, slappy

My parents said that.
