The fish seem fine they are acting the same as always. The test kit says all the levels are fine apart from the NO2 NO3 and now I've done a water change the chlorine is up but I've put some dechlorinater in for that. The tank was cycled for 10 days before I added any fish. I have a 90 litre...

Hey guys, have had my (2nd hand) tank for a couple of weeks. I have 8 neon tetra's and 5 cherry barbs. I did a partial change this morning and my NO2 and NO3 are reading as high. I did dechlorinate the water and the chlorine level is fine. Do I try another water change tonight or tomorrow or do...

Ok thanks. Bit gutted because I originally wanted guppies but only intended on having a cold water tank. Just goes to prove that pet shop only want your money rather than decent care of the fish. Think I'll probably get some neons and call it a day. I've gone a bit fish happy today having...

Thanks Mike, you really helped me out there. A happy little girl and a happy mummy xx

Brill thank you, my tank is 45-50 litre. I have 6 cherries. Would 6 neons and 2 guppies be too much for a tank of that size do you think?

Really helpful, thank you for taking the time. Fishies will love you forever x

Having sorted out my trauma having been told by the pet shop that cherry barbs are cold water I now have a heater in my tank. Now that I have a heater I have more options for fish. I've been told that barbs will nip at fish with fins so guppy's are out (I assume) so does anyone know if I put...

Got a heater, messaged a guy selling one on ebay and collected it. Now have cherry barbs doing a sun dance around there new coal fire lol. Thank you everyone for your help x

ok will do. Am going to have to drain some of the water thats in there or my tank will be too full, is that going to stress them?

Was thinking, would it be a good idea to take them out of the tank and put them in a small fish bowl and place them on the radiator overnight. I was going to fill the bowl with water from the tank they are in now so they don't have to acclimatise again. Just thinking this might be there best...

I'm amazed I've got it up to 19c so far and all of them (even the one I was convinced was dead) are swimming about, they still not as perky as at the shop but what a difference. I'm so chuffed and my little girl is all excited now. I just hope I can keep them this way till morning. thanks so...

wow I can't believe the difference. 3 of them are actually moving about again. They were desperate to get towards the warmer water. Thank you so much xxx

Oh poo, no I didn't, I was just in a rush to get it in there. Do I just add some of that water treatment stuff?

Have started adding hot water and am waiting to see if anyone has a heater I can use. Will go out first thing and get a heater tomorrow. Am looking on ebay to see if anyone selling one who lives near me that I could buy tonight

Just asking my friends on facebook if they have a heater, have poured some hot water in the tank but I think it might be too late :( My water test kit goes mainly from colour and is saying it is all within safe range Am in UK so don't know if the prices will be much different
