So I added A few fish today, An orange Betta, Angel fish (white&black), Powder blue Gourami, Opaline Gourami, and two candy sword tails.

They real livened up the tank. It was a 45 gallon with 13 1 inch small fish and 3 around 3 inches small ones.

I am happy

sweet realize the angel fish will need softer water and will eventually die in tap water if the your local tap has any minerals in it. Here in indy people have to use r/o and tap mix.

+1 i use what is called start right every time a do a water change i add it to take out the chlorine from the water and reduce the stress in the fish also

And thanks man, Now my angelfish is laying at the bottom!? jinxed me man.


It moves tho if i pick it up or if it wants too and swims fine? I dont knwo if its just going through shock or what ?!

the local fish store keeps there water at 7.0

seachem makes some good stuff to equal it out...

also things like drift wood can slightly lower ph

[sickfox]

Im about to check it all now. I think it might be 5* cooler in my tank also.

[White Thunder]

lol you dont monitor the temp?

[sickfox]

ph is 7.0-7.5

NO2 is 0.3-<0.3

GH- 16 KH - 3

I am having a hard time finding anything out other then the PH and the Temp. Does anyone know what they require as to NO2 and GH?

ha yep, our limestone kills the water hardness. But btw if anyone wants info, im a salt and fresh water enthusiast/expert if you got any questions. I have experience with about every type of fish.
