Pai Seh

My fish tank is fill with stone, 10 clown fish, 8 die left only 2, 2 butterfly fish die. I still have 2 black colour fish with white patch, 4 white & black colour stripes fish, 2 pink colour fish, 4 yellow tail blue fish, pai seh dunno the name of the fish so just give colour

They all died suddenly but before that, they always swim to the surface of water dunno why that is not commonly seen.

Their body colour fade when they die and I am suspecting maybe due to the water not clean.

Can anybody help????

Thanks

"swim to the surface" : could be lack of oxygen

and how big is your tank , so many fishes inside... u have a toatl of 22 fishes!!

[stardust0408]

Dunno wat to do........ Anybody pls help

Are the dead fishs have their gill opened and white color? If do, likely a disease. Can be velvet.

is your system new? could be ammonia poisoning ? why not u change some water... 25% -40%

[shoelevy]

help yourself, us and your fishes by doing a check on : ph, nh3, no2, kh and then provide the test results to us

only then can we help you

[stardust0408]

My ammonia indicator show safe lah.

How to check ph, nh3, no2, kh???

[steven]

bro,

for ph, u can get a pen type ph meter or test kit.

as for the rest, test kits r readily available.

Is your tank a new setup ? i suspect so.

If you are really worried, do a water change first. say abt 20%.

What is your tank size and filtration being used ?

Do read more before buying/ keeping marine life.

Good luck !

Hi thks for all the advise.

Any my livestock all die.

feel sad and sorry for them due to my mistake.

But i going to try again. I now left with some rocks and a bed of sand

Wat should I do with them.(Currently soak in water.)

I intend to keep few clown fish and some coral.

How am I going to start it. Or wat steps should I take.

Is it good to keep Cleaner Shrimps with them clown fish?

Wat type of coral should I get for the clown fish? Price???

My lobang for clown fish $13, cleaner shrimp is $8, is it Xpensive?

And how to build up the good bacteria in the tank and filteration

Pls advise Thks.....

[shoelevy]

1)pls buy test kits for ph, nh3,no2 and no3 and kh. petmart sells a package of the first 4 for only $30/-. quite reliable IMO.

2) for gd bact build up, read up about cycling process

3)after you've made sure your tank is ready for lifestock, read up about them before buying and don't stock up too fast

for more info, can always check www.wetwebmedia.com
