What fish?

**Sevaede** · 08-28-2006, 10:35 PM

As some know, all of my fish died recently. I am not sure if I maybe put too much AquaSafe in it?

I am setting up the tank tomorrow so I can let the water run for a couple of days. I want to get another fish soon (just one or two, this time) but am not sure of what to look into.

Suggestions?

Sorry if you've already mentioned this somewhere, but what types of fish did you have before? plus, do you test your water for ammonia, nitrates, etc.?
I'm just trying to think of how your fish may have died... because as long as you follow the instructions on Aquasafe, then you shouldn't have exposed your fish to too much..
Good luck. =)

I think you should get a betta.They are the best fish.

I had a VT male betta, a pleco, and a frog who happily coexisted for a long while. I had to switch them out of their tank into some others and they died. I used the same water setup 8 drops per gallon plus a teaspoon of aquarium salt when I switched them. So, I am unsure.

Don't know how big the tank is. It sounds like a water quality issues and you shouldn't put fish in until its resolved. You should also let the tank cycle before putting fish in so there is less chance of them dying from water issues.

I really enjoy my little tropical orange fish. I got them at petsmart and they are very, very active. They don't require much work either. They are a lot of fun to watch and you can have a few or a bunch, however they recomend you get at least 3 because they enjoy each others company. I know that with a betta I can't seem to get them to do anything but sit at the bottom of there tank. So I went with something easier and much more active and I'm really enjoying them.
