It means no more fish until your tank has completed the nitrogen cycle heres a link http://www.fishlore.com/NitrogenCycle.htm also how big is your tank because depending on how big it is you WILL need a filter

molliemollie...go back to the beginning of this thread...

welcome to fishlore!!!

She could be pregnant but your info says you dont know about the nitrogen cycle so it could be ammonia or nitrite poisioning...read this thread to give you a better understanding of that

http://www.fishlore.com/NitrogenCycle.htm ,.,its alot to read but will make your fish tank very happy

goodluck!


thats the second entry..you REALLY need to read that link or your fish will not live....

mollieMollie

my tank is about 6 in. tall and 8in. wide! nothing special! hand cleaned!

Shawnie

that has nothing to do with the tank being cycled..did you read that link?

mollieMollie

is it only for tropical fish? My fish isn't tropical!

mollieMollie

Yeah, I get it

Shawnie

the cycleing of a tank is for all fish...ammonia and nitrites and high nitrates that are part of the cycle, will kill a fish...

mollieMollie

I'll try to get a test kit ,do you know where to get one

mollieMollie

OK I think I know what to do

mollieMollie

my tank is pretty small do you think I need a filter

livetowin

ok you can get a test kit at any LFS(local fish store) like petco or petsmart and there not that expensive. you don't have to get a filter but it may mean more water changes and possibly more stress on the fishes side so its up to u but a test kit is pretty much a must

mollieMollie

Great I'll do that!

livetowin

ok

mollieMollie

When the circulation is done I'm getting another fish. So hopefully they'll mate!

livetowin

ok as long as you wait untill the cycle is complete

mollieMollie

I will
