    PostSubject: fish keep sinking and dying   Fri Apr 03, 2009 9:33 am

    i need your help again kenny :2431:

    i found another bloomin fish dead this morning..one of my original mollys :san56: i noticed that before it died it was swimming around the bottom of the tank, but i naively thought maybe it was hiding because it used to get harrassd by the male all the time until i got a couple more females in the tank.... then i remembered that my gourami also did this before it died, that was swimming on the gravel practically before it died :thinking:

    whats going on, what am i doing wrong????

    think i will definately get round to taking a water sample to the local aquatics centre this weekend.. not going to PAH with one, i watched a couple of youg girls test a blokes tank sample last week, they didnt know what they were on about, and the bloke went away none the wiser :2431:

    I know, they can be terrible there, the girl didn't even which were the Kribs or how to sex them, yet they got the bloomin cheek to ask you a load of questions before they sell you a fish that you can lie through your teeth about :2431:

    lol, i know... its all bullshit!!.... i once went and enquired about crayfish, i asked the youg bloke all about them, what i needed and what i should buy, he walked around with me and guided me... when i got it home and set it up i thought i would look on the net and see what it said about them.. i had completely the wrong set up, no where enough room for one let alone two!!! so i ended up buying an albino frog from the aquatic centre instead

    remember P.A.H have no experience with aquatics ,most aquatic shops are owned by people who have kept or breed fish for many years and with many years experience
    U urgentley need ur water tested Shelley(sorry tank water) or try ebay and buy kit yourself the tetra test kit is easy to use and gives instructions how to remedy.but get the multiple test kit if u have this u can check water weekly or monthly and will help u notice any problems before fish die, Bicardonate of soda can be used to adjust ph if required but after making any changes to water u have to retest after a few days to ensure u have not added to much thats why test kit is a good idea.
    IF its a quick test a ph strip will work (u can buy these out of chemist) ur tank ph needs to be around 7
    hope this helps for now Shelley

    cheers kenny, yes i definately need to do something....ive lost another fish today, the balloon molly, he was absolutely fine yesterday...but today i find him dying with one large black eye and the other one is normal, then a few hours later hes dead!!!

    on a good note though, the silver molly had her babies last night, but the fantails have eaten them ... they were gorgeous.. im sure there is a couple milling about somewhere in the tank.... i hope they survive!!!

    :thinking: the eye wasnt that big though kenny, it didnt pop out of the face, it looked like one of the fantails had punched him and given him a black eye :2431:
