Hey there,
We brought a Juwel Aquarium Vision 180 tank 3 weeks ago and have 28 tropical fish (mainly small ones) in it after getting the ph balance right.
We are amateurs at this so we'd appreciate it if anyone could advise us on a good book or website for looking after tropical fish efficiently.
Cheers all.
Thx askew70 for your great feedback. I meant to say in my first post that we took a sample of our tank water back to the shop after 10 days to get it tested before adding any fish. They confirmed it was perfect.
We have questioned 2 shops about maintaining tanks and caring for tropical fish before buying the tank and they both said that we only need to clean out water every 2 weeks or so. We are now finding this is SO incorrect. We have tried to clean the tank out twice this week and replaced the white filter but the water is still a bit cloudy. It must be the toxic you are referring to.
I will def get the two books you recommended this weekend and hopefully we will have the tank sorted soon.
Boogaloo, we got our tank at the sales - reduced from €680 to €480 plus accessiories and fish. Altogether it came to approx. €680. If you are thinking about buying a tank, do your homeworkfirst and don't get too excited when buying fish. Keep it limited to a small amount. We're learning the hard way here.
Hi guys,
I have a fish tank that i got a while ago.
Its just a small tank. I had 6 goldfish in it, the lady in the shop told me i should have the tank filled with water and the filter going before i added the fish.
so thats what i did, now four of the fish have died and there only about 3weeks old. Im very annoyed, i rang the shop and asked her about the water, fish etc.
She said oh dont be surprised if they die like what the hell?
Im a bit annoyed over it. I have two left in the tank now (all lonely)
I changed half the water every week and the filter. And replaced the water with cholrine free water.
What am i doing wrong? I dont want to buy any more fish in case they die
thanks blue
