Fish: Re: [tropical fish club] Flicking fish

If your showing any ammonia and nitrite than your tank is not holding its
cycle. This could well be part of your issues with sick fish. Even low levels
of ammonia and nitrite will lower fish immune systems.

Do you have a filter going in this tank?

] Flicking fish

\Hi Stewart
I am a novice fish keeper. I will do as you say because thanks to Donna I
realized I can look online for the instruction booklet. I will do the testing as

soon as possible. With the heat up to 30 my fish seem to be doing fine. I did do

an ammonia and nitrite test and both of those were at the normal range the
lightest colour on the card.
I will do a more detailed reading when I have time after the grandson goes home
on Monday.

Thank you for your advice. I will get back to you when I have completed the
tests.

I don't want to play with the water hardness. I bought some acid stuff but with
my grandson around I don't like it to be around the house so I think it is in
the basement with the other fish stuff I don't need as often.

Big Al's from what I know doesn't worry about the water hardness as much. Plus,
it is tricky to do if you are not a professional.

Thanks for all your help.
Erika
