I think that games are fun and all, but in all honesty I hate joining a forum only to find that the most recent discussions are games... this is very in line with the word association game. There’s nothing wrong with games, just that there is a place and a time for things. Maybe. Something. Idk.

MAYBE, there is an off chance he is alive... I haven't seen a body and the last time I saw him he was SUPER healthy... Usually when a fish is dying they show signs... I honestly think he got stuck... Which is almost my fault with choice of decor with the type of rock BUT its also a teensy bit his fault for trying to shove himself in a tiny crevis... I'm like 87.3% sure he got stuck... The female is still going strong... You saying I don't keep fish is a false statement... It doesn't matter if you keep an arowana in a bowl or you have a 1000 gallon planted community tank, its still keeping a fish... But are you keeping them properly... And if I was asked that, I would say that I am... I have a good tank size, I cycled it, I have proper food, I have a nice heater, a nice filter, I do my water changes, if one goes missing I fricking freak out, and I researched about their environment along with if my tap parameters would be ok for them... Everything was in check. People on the forum had to convince me to get the fish in! I almost didn't because I wasn't sure if the tank was ready... I believe it was ready now that they have been in for a while... Any deaths have not been due to the tank... I did not find one reason for the first fish that died why it did except pure stress... This one most likely is stuck in a rock and he couldn't get out... I will find him tomorrow no matter what... I may even have to smash a rock open... Carefully that is

You have one fish alive.

Fantastic, your pH is still 8.2 or something, and you can still justify everything you do. I am really disappointed in you as I thought you were one of the kids on this site that could have helped but with your attitude that is impossible

Name five fish that live in extremely soft water with a PH of 8.1-8.2... I already researched that before I got these fish and guess the frick what... This is a man made water source that is not natural occuring. In your little world you habe perfect water that drips from the heavens and tour fish adore you... That's great. Be fish Jesus than idc. But its physically IMPOSSIBLE for my water to change. I've tried... A lot of things in fact... Tannins, softners, distilled water, more tannins, vinegar... Yup even vinegar... Guess what? Softeners don't work water is too soft. Tannins don't work, KH is off the charts. Vinegar actually worked but no way am I using that in my fish tank for fish to swim in. Distilled water didn't work cause all the store sells is distil!ed water with PH of 8.4.... Even worse than my water...

Stop water changing, add more plant and organic matter. And allow the biological processes to take their course. I said at the beginning you needed more fast-growing plants, but you had researched and just wanted these plants etc. etc.........

 

[Rocky998]

And great... Now I lost it cause someone keeps complaining about me trying so hard on something... Someone says do this so I try that someone says try this thing so I try that thing... So I do take advice, and I listen... But when someone is attacking someone and basically telling someone they've failed and then complains about their attitude... That's real messed up my man

I would habe gladly added fast growing plants... But I didn't have the money and my parents had just spent money on those plants before you said anything... So I wasn't gonna use my parents as a free bank and keep having them buy stuff... And I already said... The natural way of changing the PH won't work... The KH is at 14 which would take too long to change... The ph shock during a water change would kill them and if I didn't do water changes ammonia could build

Also, I answer your questions... How about you answer mine... I asked, name five fish that can live in a PH of 8.2 with soft water... So do that... Even three fish that can! And make sure that's their natural water conditions...

Don't know of any. Soft water fish naturally will have a pH below 7. Soft and acid, Hard and Alkaline. Basics of fish keeping.

Ah, well than... I guess i should sell all my aquarium equipment then... No need for something I can never use... That one moderator I spoke of probably should get rid of his tanks that have been thriving for years as well... He has the same water as me... Welp that sucks... I should put my fish back in the hands of my local fish store who don't even use plants and don't even care about what species are put where... They may live longer there I guess...
