I need help !

Postby cabin8crew » Tue Mar 24, 2009 4:12 pm

Hello my name is Andy I live in Lithuania, I have 200liters aqua and bought 5 chichlidaes unfortunately 2 died in a last two days. 2 behave normal, and one strange.

First I would like you to identify the fishes

http://public.fotki.com/cabin8crew/misc ... 41631.html

the big one acts strange, when I put a wood piece in the aqua it just stays under the wood, no movements. (another two just like this one died) no fighting nothing, just one morning found on the rocks... :(

I feed fishes once a day (sometimes crisps for cichlidaes, sometimes frozen food (meat) ).

PH should be 7- 7,2 water temp - 25-27 celcious.

What can be wrong? Should I put a wood rock back? or it may influence watter ph?
What shoud I do to keep the fish alive?

Thank You sincerely for your help.

What kind of wood? Driftwood? Did you boil it before you put it in the tank? It may have had a parasite or fungus on it? Get your water tested. How often are you feeding? Which fish are you trying to find out the name of, the orange one, or the striped one? Is that a pic of your tank? If so, it looks normal to me. But test your water for contaminates. How long have you had the tank set up? We need more details to give you a logical suggestion or answer to your dilema.
