how is are your fish doing?..

any new additons?

any deaths?

weve had a run of bad luck

.... we lost all 3 shark fish within 2 days

.... not completely sure why, no other fish were affected!

then a new days later the snake looking fish we had recently got died too..at the back of the aquarium we had a plastic plant, and it had got stuck in this... so it drowned... apparantly these type of fish need air to breathe!!... so were not getting anything different to mollies or plattys lol.... we have more success with these

....

see nothings changed then Shelley (just seen this today)
the snake fish u lost was a (reed fish) are u sure it got stuck ?
Hope u didnt starve it

did u check its dietry needs or just feed it normal flakes.
many of the unusual fish u see dont do well on flakes (guppies,mollies,platies,angles )etc are tank breed and are used to commercially prepared foods,
Other that are imported or are not readily tank breed need to be kept on natural foods, remember frozen worms is not a natural food for the fish and they have to be trained to eat these.
Please invest in a good reference book(not from P.A.H)
