the paddling pool is about 70litres and in my garage (i had a small heater going so i lowered the temp slowly to the garage temp), the fish are only 5-6cm
it is the same filter as before, but their tank was about half the size, the filter is just a roll of stiff selefane (or celefane?) with filter wool and charcol (i was trying to mimic the corner filters) i know that the filter isnt very good (but power/canaster ones are so expensive (im 14 and trying to conserve cash)) so i have been doing 20% water changes every day/2nd day
I have no test kits (i was hoping the water changes would keep ammonia levels down)
im starting to think that maybe over feeding was the problem, i did a big clean after pricey died and there was uneaten food under the shells and stuff,
on the topic off feeding, everywhere says to feed the fish enough for them to eat in 10mins, but my fish are scared of me and stay under a shell and never eat when im around, (if i wait for a while and watch them through a mirror they do come out and eat the food) so im only quessing with the 10 mins thing, is there a more reliable method?
maybe my fish are stressed if they dont eat while im there
i also have some 'oxy weed' in there and it seems to drop leaves, will it pollute the tank?
thanks for the advice
