i have had 11 fish deaths in the past month, it began shortly adding a new fish - the others stopped eating then one seemed to die each day then we replaced the filtration system, pump, treated with salt, ich tx and deaths stopped for about 1 wk then started again 3 days ago with 1 death each day and i don't know why. the ph is perfect, ammonia and nitrates only mildly elevated ; of the fish 9 black and 3 golden goldfish died - the other kinds seem ok. are goldfish less hardy?

I have a community tropical freshwater aquarium. My water hardness has increased and the GH and KH are now just above normal limits. The pH has also risen quite dramatically. I have added a pH balance chemical to reduce the alkaline but from what I understand the two issues are related. My testing kit tells me to add water from a reverse osmotion tank but I don't have one or know much about setting one up. Do you have any suggestions? (Regualr water changes are not helping in this case)

I currently have 3 bala sharks, 3 black-skirt tetras, 1 opaline gourami, and 1 angel fish in a 29 gallon aquarium. I got all these fish about 1 1/2 months ago so they still small. I plan on upgrading to a 125 gallon tank. When will I need to do this? How much time will it be until I need to upgrade?

that is 3.5g (not 4) heated to room temp, 21 deegrees celsius, filtered, has live plants and a small cave in a corner?

Or would the tank be too cold? the only reason i dont have it heated is cause it has the light provides some heat and a heater does not fit with the lid being on so i have to take it off and then it looks gay and yea so will the better and 2-3 white clouds be OK?

In my aquarium, I have 3 bala sharks (about 3 inches each), 3 black-skirt tetras, 1 opaline gourami, and 1 angel fish. I have had them for about 1 1/2 months now. One bala shark keeps chasing the other 2 balas plus the black skirt tetras but it doesn't bother the angel fish or opaline gourami. Should I get a few more balas to make a school? What should I do?

Does cigarette smoke enter the water of the fish tank. I have an aerator with an air filter connection; will this work or should i just leave the aerator off? How bad will it affect the fish? On another note can u kill a fish by getting it high (feeding or blowing pot smoke in the tank)?

My pleco has been shedding for the past 3 days. All i see at the bottom of the tank is black scales. Having taken a closer look at its body, I can see some light spots on its skin where the scales have fallen off. However, it seems very active at night as usual. Im really confused, I dont want to lose my pleco. Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

I have been keeping a large stock of feeders in a 20 gallon aquarium for several years, but I would like to convert this 20 gallon into a community with livebearers and such, maybe 2-3 dwarf gouramis. Could I just use an old 2.5 gallon aquarium and hold feeders in there? I could restock feeders once every 2 weeks and my oscars eat 2 feeders a piece everyday, along with flakes and a few pieces of cooked ground beef. I guess I would be keeping around 30 feeders in a 2.5 gallon. SO OVERCROWDED. lmao. My oscars are held in a 200 gallon by themselves.

I have a 50 gallon community tank with guppies; 2 platies; 3mollies; 4 Danios; 3 Neon tetras; and 3 cory cats. Guppies out numbered the rest of the fish by quite a few. Recently; however; my guppies number have dwindled dramatically I currently only have 1 adult and about 5 guppy fry (big enough not to be eaten whole) and a few little babies; the small ones are doing fine. Every couple days for the last week I've been finding dead medium to full size guppies with their tail completely missing. I originally thought it was my filter so I covered it so not fish would be injured; however; it keeps happening. How do I find out which fish are causing the damage? Do you think it's just one? And why is this happening? TY for your help
