The Platy died last night...My little buddy guppy is still hangin in, no signs of anything bad...yet...

The Platy seemes much much better, the Guppy, still unphased by any of this, maybe the water quality is getting better...sure seems so...i'll keep you updated.

No, i am still trying for the 15 gallon....i have to save my money and find a drive because suposedly my parents arent going to change anything. I changed some water last night, and added a teeny bit more decholinator than it said, to help visible stress i could see...just checked and the platy...

Can i turn the filter off for awhile or not? Will it help any

I washed it out with a tiny bit of dish detergent, rinsed it then filled it up and let it sit for a few hours, this was also when i checked for leaks...i then dumped it...filled up again, and waited to see for sure there was no leaks (got given to me) i rinsed it again, and then wiped it out...

Yes...the filter is prolly to big...i even put some plastic around it so it wouldnt intake so much...I've found a 15 gal tank i'm intent on buying, and tomorrow i will go. i think the mollies were too small....the water current was looking pretty strong...I'll try my best to see what happens...

Yeah, hopefully....I;m looking already for a bigger tank...if worst comes to worst and the platy dies, i'll go for another guppy or two...after i wait and watch him for anything odd....sound good? I hope so. I'm exhausted myself from this

i just cleaned the tank today though...alot of it...maybe 1/4 of the water Either way, i'm P.O'ed... hopefully the other two pull through...what i really dont understand is the guppy...he honestly is not in any way acting oddly. he eats and swims around normally, i've yet to see him lying on the...

Just found the molly dead...removed him from tank...the Guppy is no different, but the platy seems still bad off...any suggestions on what the heck i can do? Parents thoink its "bad fish" ,..i'm not buying that story ...i think its the water or something...help!...

Thanks....i had a betta for two years, actually....but i really like the idea of more than 1 fish lol....if these ones dont live, well i know the guppy will tough it out the longest, i'm getting a bigger aquarium and starting from scratch

Damn....any ideas on how i could keep them alive hopefully...? Tomorrow i'll see if i can wimper my way into a store visit, if not my boyfriend will drive me I know they do free water tests. Will aquarium salt help anything? if so, i heard you could use koser salt or rock salt ??(Not...

Is there ANY possible way i can test ammonia without a store-test kit....??

Yes, i used dechlorinator. I even added a bit of bacteria starter, just as the bottle said, maybe a bit less ... Said it helped nutralize ammonia (do you think thats the problem?...i did a water change anbd cleaned the gravel today) its only the molly gasping at the surface though, the last one...

well, i'm pretty new to keeping an aquairium, so when my mom brought home a cute little 5-gallon home one night, i had no idea of the problems i'd find. I began shopping for all the things i thought i needed...my neighbour gave me a filter that she'd only used once, and i bought gravel, and a...
