Aquarium and aquarium in my passion for plants, fish and aquatic world
We respond to Elijah for his problem concerning (as often) poorly understood dead fish in its freshwater aquarium:
"My name is Elias, from 3 months now in my tank (60 of acquadream acquatlantis filter BIOBOX with" wool "synthetic canolicchi) we went to check out a number of deaths. originally housed the aquarium catfish 5 neon 2 guppies and 2, however, about 3 months ago after a few days of each other four neon forsake me, however, since the body without signs they left and think of a disease considered who were with me for over 3 years the case was filed (also considering the average lifespan reported on the Internet) as a natural death, but ultimately the deaths are reviewed, in 2 days I have left 1 catfish and 1 guppy, this But once you noticed how ragged fins on the edges (and died not many hours since the morning they were alive and the discovery took place before noon). aquarium are the java moss and a well developed Echinodorus. may depend on what the deaths?
thanks and congratulations for the site, Elijah "
Hello Elijah, I'd forget the Neon 3, while for the last 2 fish need to understand what condition is your water. So nitrates and nitrites should be checked to find out and maybe change the regime of water changes and / or add plants. In summer, however, can also be other problems such as the excessive temperature and therefore also the shortage of oxygen. So in the summer is a bit 'harder to understand the real reason of the death of a fish, but we can certainly do so to rule out certain causes, and year after year to learn from mistakes.
I myself this year I underestimated the heat and I lost all guppies that were growing, the blue moscow, which are also very difficult to find for sale.

Hello,
Here I think (I'm not quite sure) I just got so many beautiful boys blue moscow ...
I'm from Vercelli.
Hello Blacksun
In reality, the fraying of the fins makes me think of a parasite found in the tank rather than problems of nitrite.
I need help! I have a small tank is long and narrow, with under 25 liters with filter and water pump. The filter has a sponge in black above the second container in ceramic and coal. Two plants, The pH is 7.5, temperature 26. Every week I die a lot peciolini. After the initial massacre, now I have an average of at least 4/5 a week. Cadence every 8 days, one after the other, very fast. I unfortunately washed several times tt. and use tap water with care and clean accordingly. What to do? How to clean filter? How? Why muoino to xadenza week?
You can also use tap water, not the end of the world, but in the filter you can keep more of ceramic razor (do not EVER wash, to the limit with the same water volume) and a piece of sponge (to clean every 7-10 days). Lever coal.
Now take a deep change of 30-40% and not feeding for a few days. In 3 or 4 days make it a more equal and again with food. You'll see they'll stand better ... but if you notice symptoms, then you may have a disease and you have to figure out which to use a medicine.
Clearly continues with 20-30% water change every 15 days ... better every week!
