Tropical Fish Aquarium Temperature



Tropical Fish Aquarium Temperature
Is it the temperature or pH that causes temporary blindness and death in my tropical aquarium?

I recently realized that my Disco tropical fish swimming as if they were blind because they kept bumping into each otherr and runs on the sides of the aquarium obviously could not see! The tank temperature is 32degrees C. idblindedd afraid my fish to raise the temperature so it is down to 28degrees C. In the morning he could see again and I did a test of PH. The pH is pH 7.2, while pH6.4 down to what is recommended, but all my angels are dead! I want to add other angels, but first I need some advice. Please someone can help me?

32 C is about 90 F. a range of 80-84 degrees F is acceptable … but the absolute maximum is 90. Besides pH and temperature … What are the levels of ammonia, nitrate and nitrite … ensure that they are also in excellent condition. 90 degrees is way too hot angelfish. could be your problem with them. 75-86 is a range of temperatures well. be of the order of 28 c … is what is too low. But if you lower the temperature or raise the temperature too quickly (instead of a few degrees at a time …) that might point to the separation. Its pretty hard to be in the water too hot, but for a sudden cooling down, it really underscores. When the temperature is too high or too low, whether ammonia, nitrates and nitrites are off if the pH jumps largest to smallest on the right just too fast … stress and can kill fish. stability as an essential means of keeping fish healthy. This does not guarantee 100% that they never have problems but it is a good start and that stress is an important factor in making sick fish, and a lot of stress from the instability of the water. the first thing you should before adding to the angels … More get the temperature of solid at the proper temperature for all the fish in your tank … obtain the pH under control and keep it there (without advanced fast) to keep other levels of control, without peaks … ensure there no signs of illness (ick parasites, for example) and then once you have everything under control and can not keep it there for at least one week, and all other fish look good, eat and swim normally and then add the fish. disease you describe sounds like "eye" Cloud ensure that no cloud fish eye that is before the introduction of new fish. Various agencies (not specified), the severe stress, malnutrition, cataract, aging, overproduction of mud due to poisoning, poor water quality, or irritation. General symptoms of the eyes is cloudy a mist before the eyes, blindness, lethargy, loss of appetite.

What are the things I need for my fish freshwater aquarium?

I therefore intend to change all the water in my tank and clean all the decorations inside and fill with fresh water rocks.And and again the pH is no pill or other things I'm sure the fish are healthy and the water will be good for them?

They do not need no pill "pH". Most freshwater fish can tolerate a wide pH range, and trying to mess with your pH does leaed of poor water quality. Why do you your tank again? If you do this, you will lose all the beneficial bacteria that "eat" harmful ammonia and nitrites. Except Again, you'll have a one month cycle to show that the bacteria. E-mail with your questions!

African dwarf frogs can live tropical fish flakes have sunk to the ground?

my father left me so they can eat normal fish food. but from time to time once a month to buy the bad blood, but in the meantime, eat these remain fairly healthy?

no. they need a good source of protein and flakes are soaked and got sick after a certain time in the bottom of the tank. find custom frog flakes sank immediately so that you can go wrong before you can eat. mosquito larvae and are no better source of protein, either, but the use most people remains a food.

Help available with tropical fish tanks!?

On Monday, I bought an aquarium of 90 liters. I am waiting for the products chemicals in the water to be good for fish, and I am testing the water on Monday. So far, it has, false floors gravel, a heater and a filter. I can not decide what to buy fish! I want the fish are colorful, and agree with the others. I fish which are more than 2.5 inches and are quiet and semi aggressive. So the fish are cheap to buy (under £ 10 / $ 20), but I'll pay more if I want fish. I'm also a fish farmer intermediaries if it helps. Suggestions?

dwarf gourami, tiger barbs and swordtail grow beyond 2.5 inches.

A question on tropical fish community and aggressive?

Currently, I have much less red end (the poor ones), skirt tetras black and gold (also very bad), longfin danios, Platys tail WAG sunburst, Pepper Corydoras catfish, and a red tailed shark (labeled as semi-aggressive, but very gentle and quiet in my tank) What other fish could I go to fill my tank? I wonder specifically If I could go out with a pictus catfish, because I have no small fish. Thank you! =)

Pictus catfish is an excellent choice, are very active and non-aggressive. Its red tail sharks Frisquet can get when you type on a 5-6 "mark. Good luck.

Get a new tank – How to save water?

I get a bigger tank, how I'm setting up on the water for them? I spyOrb 30L a minute, I'll drain the water in the tank again? The tank is 180L I get (see my another question), what can be done to the water cycle, etc.? Please complete step by step would be great because I do not want to kill my fish Tropical beautiful! The tank came to me 2nd Hand with water, then I got it, I do every week watet partial changes. Help please! Besides, what kind of fish can be kept in the 180L? Currently, I have neon tetras (babies), 2 white-tipped tetras and a fish Unidentified black, which is very quiet. I have 2 glass catfish and my first purchase Once the tank is set to be more of them as they not do well as a couple (even if the pet store guy said they !!!). grr Thanks! Sorry for the typos!

Hello, To configure your new tank, half fill the tank again with fresh tap water, then empty the tank spyOrb again because The new tank is much larger than spyOrb what will be needed to complete the filling with tap water. On the bike the tank then all you do is get a gravel cleaner, gravel and clean the drain about 25% water, while water is then drained clean the filter. I do it every six weeks, always keep the tank clean and clear. Regarding the type of fish and grouse can not take the community Kribs fish or dwarf cichlids. Any other type of fish, for example. cichlids will kill and eat fish.

Argenteus Monodactylus?

I decided to keep these fish with my cycle normal water (not brackish) it is good to keep them in salt, because I saw so many people keeping in neutral water successfully. My cousin also had for 6 years the tank with the angels, and some means arowanas Cichlids from South America (mites). Monkeys are the active part of your tank, you ra fish very unique and rare. If there is adequate cichlids is so even if I stay with a school of them in a water tank Fresh normal, because the maintenance of balanced salt concentration, pH testing appears to be a daunting task.

Water fish are beautiful fish, but they are brackish. Can be adapted to fresh or sea water, but really could not see these fish, freshwater, SA (who are eligible for a small amount of salt, 1 tablespoon packed with 5 gallons, which is not salty).

Hello, these Fish can be very aggressive so it depends what you mean other fish. Other or more aggressive fish will be fine. Also, if the tropical fish as grouse, beards, etc., then a big NO. Cichlids with cichlids. And if you get another convicted so be careful and be prepared because not raise.
