AquaVitamins Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 He did a 50% WC 2 days ago, and we have no way of testing the water. But he did have a carbon filter media in his HOB, which has been running in there for about 5 weeks. So i have just removed it, leaving just the foam stuff.

Southerrrngirrl Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Would be good for us to know more details such as size of tank, how long its been set up, how many fish are in the tank and what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, most LFS's will test your water for you if you provide them with a sample... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could bring me a water sample one evening and I can test it if you can not make it to your LFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaVitamins Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 K guys, thanks so much for all the help, I have take the fish back, ( they all died ) and my brother got some Mollys. I took a sample of water to the shop, and they tested it, and they said the water was fine. Also the tank has been cycled and has had 5 guppys in it for about 2 weeks. They are all fine. But the tetras.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
