New Fish To Go With Current?

Hey the temp was the same. I didnt check the p.h or anything of the new water. But i usually put the bucket on top of the tank and siphon the water back in with a pipe so it goes back in slowly



I know what u mean they always cover my sand in crap. Well i guess its them.

The water change shouldn't have been the problem, then.

It was probally caused by extra chlorine in the water or something. Main thing is everything back to normal thou

Lemon and X-ray Tetras are very adaptable fish that come from a wide range of conditions in the wild (including light brakish if memory serves me right), which are likely to do much better than Rasboras if your tap water is on the hard side.

If your water is hard and alkaline, how about rehoming all your fish and not just the Danios, to do a mini Tanganyikan setup or a species only setup for a fish like Butterfly Goodeids?

It's good to overdose a bit on the dechlorinator just to make sure it gets rid of all of it. If things are back to normal, I say go ahead and get new fish. Harlequin rasboras would be good, they're small, peaceful, beautiful and hardy. You could also aim for a peaceful centerpiece fish of sorts. Maybe a pearl gourami or something of the sort.

Well, you caught my attention. Any of these fish that would work for a 30"x12" footprint? My tap's pH is 7.8 in every house I've tried the LFS manager even said the water around here is really freaking hard. I'm unsure of the exact number, but it's not the first time I've heard it. Wouldn't mind setting up a tank of fish that actually like these conditions.
