Tropical Fish Tank and Aquarium Information

Go Back   Fish Lore Tropical Fish and Aquarium Forum > Freshwater Aquarium Fish Forum > Freshwater Beginners

Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

I'm really sorry about your fish
When things go wrong, it's best to rule out water conditions first.
Do you know the readings for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate?

Any tank mates? If so, how many and what kind?

If you could edit your aquarium info (found under My Settings at the top left)
It will help the members to have all that info at a glance.

thanks Lucy, yes we follow directions for testing nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia. This Bio Cube has been empty since past Dec. when we were out of power for 9 days and lost all the fish. I brought these home Weds. and now have llost 2 of the four corys. Yesterday I brought home a male betta. That was all I was putting in this tank. Hubby says he thinks I should try different fish. But, I love Corys (my favorite) and Bettas. Haven't had this problem before and have had this Bio Cube 3 yrs. now. So, now there are only 2 corys and the male Betta.
