    Re: Got qustions to ask!!! Help me!

    ibbz, that tank is too small for angels, even a tall tank. You did not state what kind of filter you are using, how long you cycled the tank and what you have been feeding them with. More details, a photo of the tank etc, will help in identifying the problems.

    Please do not make a "noob" mistake and overstock your small tank with too many fish which will outgrow the tank. This is for the sake of the fish, and for your wallet. Many people make this common error and end up buying more fish than what their filter or the tank is capable of handling, and especially in un-cycled tanks. Without sufficient filter bacteria, your fish will just end up dying of ammonia spikes among other things, and worst, disease if you bought ill specimens that seem fine at first glance.

    I understand you are used to local slang and SMS lingo, but here on AQ, we would appreciate that you use proper English if possible. Thanks.

    Can I ask if my submersible filter's rain-bar is below the water level, will it create enough air for the fishes (about 20 of them). My tank is 2ft and only have 3 plants. Should I raise the rain bar above the water level to create the bubbles effect to create the air?

    Hope to hear from the experts' comments.

    Tks

    Re: Got qustions to ask!!! Help me!

    hi polyho..

    Air can still be absorbed by the water surface.
    As stormhawk mention, don't over stock. It is the primary school lesson i learnt from 40-50 guppy in 2 feet tank using air fliter, many guppies died.. (whoa! that was a blast from the past)
    If you see the fish constantly at surface, something is wrong.

    hope this can help you out.

    Cheers

    raise it above water level can help. but better to reduce bio load. or run air pump with sponge filter.

    Re: Got qustions to ask!!! Help me!

    Bro, it's 2 different person ...
    Anyway, do read up more on cycling, and with regards to keeping fishes, always remember to not overstock... It would a big problem. And how dis you introduce the dishes into your tank? - there are lots of possibilities which causes the death, unless you are precise, we can't offer much advice as to where the problem lies ( other than over stocking)

    I am staying in Henderson road, very near telok blangah, and I will be more than happy to help and offer you what i know if you got any immediate queries that need to be answered. Can drop by my place any time and chit chat over a cup of coffee haha...

    Your koi angelfish are not pregnant, though if they are mature then you might have a female in those pics. Angelfish lay eggs.

    Re: Got qustions to ask!!! Help me!

    In a tank that small, you would be lucky to get 1 pair out of several. Angelfish can get bloat from overfeeding, or their tummies will be fat after a good meal. Either way, it is no indication of a gravid female.

    When you first got them they were probably not fed very well. This is common.
