Yes, I do use a dechlorinator. is that good or bad? as for algae, my friend has a gold nugget and his gold nugget leaves the tank spotless of algae. i tried giving it a cucumber but it didn't touch it. i also bought dried sea weed, the type you roll sushi in. i heard they like it, but when i put it ...

the minute i will see they are starting to be aggressive i will seperate them from the aquarium.

ok, the reason they recomended me the demasoni is because they are very little, 1-2 cm, and because i have them while they are small they will grow timid.

and what is BioSpira?

ok, so i will go and but a new nitrate test and i will test
as for the redness on the tips of his fins, what can i do?

and also, i have some algae on a lot of rocks but he is not eating at all..., sick maybe?

are u sure not to change water?
i heard it's good for the fish to change as much water as i can

it's not sand, it's actually little plastic gravel...
it just looks like sand..., which is why i bought it

well..., my tank is only about 105 Litters... It's measures are 80 cm length, 40 cm height, and 35 depth and it's panoramic. here is a picture of it: http://grm.m.walla.co.il/briefcase/00f3/e/l/e/k/a/m/i/t/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/r/200501281813052369/200501281817449226/PICT0001.jpg http ...

ok, so as for water circulation, I have an external filter 600 Litters per hour, that takes the water from 1 end and pours it out the other. as for oxygen, I have a Stone that is connected to a power supply, it is at the bottom of the tank, and it send bubbles to the surface that when explode mix ...

So, here are my answers, and some of the things i don't know because this is my first tank ever, abd it's only 3 weeks old: is nitrogenous pollution low? - how do i check? is the water soft? - how do i check? is the water slightly acid? - how do i check? is there plenty of oxygen available? - Yes is ...

ok, and is there anything i can do to make him feel any better?

mmmmm..., he is VERY inactive!!!, stays at the same spot most of the day, and at night he doesn't even touch the food i give him.

about heavy brething..., how can i know if he is heavy breathing?

plus the redness doesn't look like a fin color, it looks more like a wound.

Well, i do have plants, i don't remember their names. and the nitrat is 0, believe me.

as for the redness, i got him that way, and i thought it was from other fish as well, but a week has passed and it's still there, what can it be?
and is there a medicin i can give him for that?

Ok, about feeding, I feed my goldnugget in the night, when all the other fish are sleeping, so it is the only one awake.
also, a concern, I have noticed redness on the tips of both it's fins.
what can i do to heal this?

well, the water is excelent, 0 amonia, 0 nitrit, 0 nitrat. and i change 20% of the tank's water 2 times a week. I fed it JBL PLECOCHIPS on sunday, and a piece of cucumber on wednsday. about bloodworms, i don't think it will be good for the other fish, 4 salesmen at 4 different fish stores have told ...
