There are only two fish as the other all died of some diese.
I dont know how to do stats
I caught him in a net to have a look at him and he is just like a dead lump, his fins arnt really moving.
He looks normal colour
The air pump is on.
I dont know what type sorry, tropical fish both grey, diffrent types.
Its a big tank. prob about 40liters
I dont think i have over fed the fish, im doing what ive been told too. But i guess i could have overfed them.
The healty grey one is pink on the bottom, has pink tipped fins, really pretty

40 litres is a small tank.
Do you know how to do a water change.
Just rremove some water from the tank with a jug. Then fill a bucket up with tap water and add some declorinator and stir.
Match temp of tank, you can go 2 degrees lower or higher and that's it.
Remove uneaten food with a net.
is it possible to load a pic up of the fish.
Give a description of the fish in a thread over in tropical discussion, some members might know which fish they are.
