no idea. one a week died with most of them having no signs of anything being wrong. they are the main reason i redid my tank. there is no good reason that they died.

i'm not sure i want to try danios again. those are what i had in my first try that all died.

So, some of you may have read my posts in the emergency forum where i had 8 fish die over less than two months with no apparent cause. my levels had been ok, my pH a little high but nothing dangerous. as of a month ago, i was down to two swordtails (they didn't die :D) and was planning on...

how will my plants handle sand? i think i have Jungle Val, java Ferns, and ludwigia. are they going to be bothered by sand?

just to keep anyone who is interested posted, i have decided to start my tank pretty much over a week from now when i get back from visiting my grandparents. i'm going to get water from somewhere else, i'm going to rinse everything i have out, especially my substrate, and i'm going to get some...

according to the fish store, that pH isn't that big of a deal, it is normal around here and all of their tanks are that high too. of course, i did check and the review of that store on this forum isn't very good, so i don't know. any one else have any thoughts on the matter? i really don't...

i'm sorry to hear that. hopefully the rest of you fish stay healthy.

I've had 6 zebra danios and one common pleco die in the last month and a half. I have a 29 gallon tank that has been set up for 3 months. the cycling finished over a month ago, and since then my ammonia and nitrite have been 0 ppm, my nitrates have gotten up to about 30 ppm before water...
