ok. Thanks for all your help. ;)

I can arrange for someone to do that if nessesary, but a friend of mine just told me that the mother fish will most likely eat its ofspring and actually now I am not sure where it has gone. It may be hiding or perhaps she already eat it. I can not believe how much there is to learn!

Hi I have never had a fish tank before and now my fish are dying! :byebye: I am not sure what I am doing wrong, and the guy at the pet shop claims that I am not doing anything wrong :S however I just bought the fish two days ago and this morning I found the first casualty. I have a 45 Litre...
