Thanx for all your adivice, I feel a bit better now! :rolleyes:

It's amazing....we posted almost the same topic! I know how stressed you must feel about this ....I feel so guilty of moving...

Sorry to sound stupid, but how do I get air into the bag? And how do I fill the tank up with new water, because I know I'm not suppose to put more than 30-40 % of new water in when cleaning it?...It's 20 min drive away....Will catching the fish not cause terrible stress? How many fish can I put...

:crazy: Please, could any one give me advice! We are moving from one home to another...its 10 km away. I've got a full and active fish tank....It takes 180 litres, so it's VERY heavy with all the rocks, ect. I'm very worried about the moving, I'm worried about the temp dropping, the shaking af...

Thanx for all the advice....Yes, what was strange to me was that when I tested the Nittrite and Nitrate levels with my liquid test (the test test the 2 together...) the count was 0. That's why I was so surprised with the strip results of above 250! I will keep on with the gradual water...

Ok, I'm going to try my best with the info.... -My tank is 180l, with a build in filter -I've had it for 1 year.....I do a 20-30l water change every week, washing the filter material in the old water before I put it back. I check the temp of new water, 27 degrees, then also adding 'water...

Ps.....It can't be the new plants?

Ok...I'm using liquid tests....Sera NH4, NH3 test. The water here are ph 8.....(The guy at the shop said it will make no difference to try and change the ph because our water are treated so it will go back to the same ph again...). I thought that I will do a propper cleaning and 25% water change...

thanx, I will try and get something for internal parasites.....I stay in South Africa ....

I have tested the water..it's fine. I had my tank for a year....The last few months everything went well....I bought a few new fish and 2 new plants( 1-2 months ago).....All the fish that died, was new ones, but wasn't bought at the same place (3 different places).....My tank is 180l....

I have lost 4 fish(2 clown fish, 2 guaramies), in the last 2 weeks! :unsure: Before they die, they only become very thin, looks like sceletons! Their heads is only bone and the rest of their bodies become thinner and thinner, and within 2 days or so, they just die! This is VERY sad and I...

Thanx, I also heard that salt and scale-less fish is not a good idea. Sorry, I don't have a picture. My silver dollar seem to bennifit from the meds, but my gouramie is still in bad shape.

With all that's happening in my tank, 2 ill fish and meds...I'm the 'proud' owner of future baby angels!!!! I've got almost 50-60plus little wiggling eggs! I've put it in a guppytank, keeping it in my big tank...I have NO idee or clue what to do with them!!!? I really don't know if I must let...

Thanx, I phoned the fish petshop...they were also a bit sceptic with adding salt to my tank with my clown fish...So I used Tetra Medical, General tonic....35ml on my 160-180l tank. The silver dollar is not well yet, but not worse! Maybe I'll repeat my treatment. Ps: I live in South-Africa

I've got some problems in my tank...my water is fine, but my silver dollar has rupture of the skin around his mouth! :unsure: So alot of people advise me to throw salt (1ml/1l) into my tank...They say this is good for the fish and help in preventing and treating disease. But I read on the net...
