Hi Jasmine, Since my waters are so different from LPS, I use the ”drip method” and here’s how I do it. First, float the bag as Ray just mentioned. Next I use a plastic box from “Sterlite”, it holds roughly 3 gallons of water. It measures about 16″ long,5″ high and 12″ […]
Floating the bag to first equalize the temperature has always been a major step in acclimating new fish, and while this first step should always be preferable (in this manner — floating) whenever possible, there are times when for various reasons (there may be too many fish in the bag, the fish is larger than […]
Hi Jasmine. Tried replying to you yesterday, but the unexpected happened — don’t ask . Hadn’t had a chance to get back here since. Sorry to hear your cold took a turn for the worst, but I’m glad to see you have sick day pay coming. Get plenty of rest, there’s […]
Ok. Didn’t know half this stuff. I mainly followed what my dad use to do.
Excellent reading. Thank you.
Jasmine
Hello Jo, So sorry you are running into this frustrating experience in trying to keep Angelfish, when the species is not difficult to maintain. Ordinarily, we would ask just what you meant (and will still do this) when you say that your water is all testing okay. When giving us any of your […]
They’re in the group folders under “Jasmine” I believe… She has some very pretty Angel’s.

We thought the UV Filtration was only for a short time - it was purchased to help with the treatment of Ich (any water born particals) while we medicated the tank.
We are not intending to running it for a long period.
Thank you for the links, I have a look at them.

Jasmine,
Read these articles on proper acclimation methods. It’s NEVER a good idea to put fish store water into your tank.

So basically what your saying is that all fish in tank (2Angels) must die then i need to disinfect all equipment then start all over buying from a different source but theres no garanteen that even a differant source could still get infected in that case i would have to repeat process agian……Really isnt there […]
Tell us more about your fish keeping experience and more details like a timeline/history of how long you have been trying to get this tank to work.
What are the water parameters at the store where you are buying the fish or where they were born/raised? Is your tank water naturally at 6.5 pH […]
