Don't even bother putting fish in the take until the ph level is perfect. If not, its like they're swimming in Sprite.

does the ph level have to be the same for all fish? or does it differ from fish to fish?

You have just stepped into my office, I'm an avid aquarist too and I'm pretty big on the subject.

You've stated that you just bought an aquarium. Please do not tell me you already bought fish because if you did, then you just wasted money and ultimately, killed some fish. When you buy a new aquarium, you should not buy fish for another one or two weeks.

This is because you must set up your aquarium first, with all the decorations you intend to have in it. Of course, you must wash the gravel in warm water, along with any other decorations you'll put in it. You fill it with water and add some proper dechlorination chemicals. You let it run with the filter on for one or two weeks, as I stated earlier. This is known as the cycling period.

Alright, I got myself going. I suggest you look through the internet for articles on aquarium care and maintenance. Or if you prefer, just PM me, I have waay to much to say.

It could've been that there wasn't enough beneficial bacteria in the water to sustain the goldfish and there could've been the variable of temperature, most goldfish are coldwater fish and if the temperature seemed hot, they die.

I didn't buy any fish. I thought it was 24 hours for the filtration period? I neutralized everything, I think I'm going to go buy some PH papers to see what I can do.

Is a salt-water setup difficult to do?

My boyfriend has a tank and my best friends boyfriend has 3.

Salt water tanks are a lot more difficult, time-consuming and expensive to take care of, so I'd say start with the freshwater and see how you do with that one for awhile before taking on a saltwater tank.

I am really not fond of fish at all. I remember when my step moms goldfish died, they chased me around the house with it and I had a panic attack. Yes, I am a girly man.

1. Never clean the fish tank, fish liek it like that.
2. Never add ph, etc.
3. Pour half the food can into their tank everyday, make sure they have plenty to eat.
4. Make sure to constantly tap the glass, they love the attention.
5. If they die do not take them out of the tank, his fish friends will burry him secretly at night, Let them mourn.
6. After 2 weeks you will realize you really don't like fish.

fish are very idle. i bought two guppies. they are just sitting there. ph level was 6.5, i think i'll keep it to 7ph, and put some stress coat in there.




or i might just wait for them to die, and buy a frog.

For starters, you should never mess with water chemical levels, unless you're experienced, of course. That's left to the professionals, not even I dare to mess with the chemical levels. You should put stress coat in there and turn the light off, that'll calm them down.

And I'm a big Guppy person. Guppies love plants so buy a million-and-one plants, fake or real, and that'll really help them keep from stressing out.
