Restocking Disaster

You can't guarantee that there will be no ammonia in mineral water so it's not the best source to use.

And if the reading is always at 0.25 then either your filter isn't cycled (but then you'd expect an increase over the week), or the ammonia test is faulty, or you're reading it wrong. My bet is it's one of the latter two.

ok thanks will try and source some suitable water to compare.

so fish look pretty much the same but there behaviour is fine the diamonds feed greedily and swimming together playing in the current.

Still done nothing but water changes so far im gunna give it a week and see if they improve.

I've found that lots of good clean water can help just about anything in an aquarium. That is always the first thing I do when something goes wrong. Good luck!

Thanks Colleen i hope so to.

The diamond and the neons are my only surviving fish from when i set up well over a year ago so i really hope i dont lose them this time aswell.

Well today i got my waters tested again at the lfs and my waters are spot on.

I checked them earlier and 4 of them are definently improving with slight fin regrowth hope I was just being overparanoid and my fishys continue to improve.

Thanks for all help and info allways appreciated guys and gals

I know this sounds silly but you dont have any orniments or logs in there that they could be damaging them selves on do you?

i cant see the decor being a problem as i throughly clean everything with hot water then dry out in the sun for a few days before putting in my tank.

All other decor like caves I make myself using aquarium grade silicone and I allways make sure there are no sharp edges on anything.
