Thanx Wilder!

@Ludwig Venter: Baie dankie!! Ek bly in Pretoria! @LauraB: Thanks! That's a good idea! The fish are looking better. Hope they keep improving. Had a little panic this morning when the power went out. See, South Africa's been experiencing serious electricity shortages and the national...

Thanx guys! @Wilder: Well there's probably no point going back to the same pet store. Will have to find another! I just don't have cash for a filter at the moment. I'm struggling as it is. So undergravel no good in your opinion? It was working fine for the first five months! @LauraB: PHD is...

Hi! I'm pretty new to fish keeping. I've had a tank for about 5 months now. I've had a fish die on me yesterday, and I can see the other fish are not so well either. I'd like a little help, but I'm not able to start a new thread in the emergency section. Anyone know what the problem is ? Thanks!
