Urgent help needed!!!

[francesjones]

Iv'e worked down a previous problem (My fish kept dying) to a rubbish air pump that came with my tropical Starter Kit.

The proplem is, is that i have ordered an air pump but it wont arrive until wednesday. Does anyone know how i can increase the oxygen levels in the water, before my other fish die?

what filter do you have is it air-operated this should help(turn up as high as you can without causing swimming problems to the remaining fish) also live plants will help the oxygen level.what size tank have you got and how many fishes in it .overcrowding will make the problem worse.

hope this helps
good luck

Do a water change, it always helps to have fresh water cycled around your tank. Breaking the water surface always helps put oxygen in your tank. So mabye while pouring in the new water you could try to break the surface a bit, but not so much that it disturbs the gravel.
