I've just had, two neons just die. I had a goldfish (mickey) die last night. My two dwarf frogs and my snail are both alive still fine. I've just had the tannk for 'bout two weeks. WHY is this happening? Thanks.
Answers:First, the goldfish can't be kept with neons. They're cold water fish, so you need to keep them by themselves or with other cold water fish, like white clouds. Neons are tropicals, so they need warmer water.
Also, goldfish produce a lot of waste, which causes ammonia to build up in your tank. Your fish probably died of ammonia poisoning. This is a great article that will teach you all you need to know about the nitrogen cycle, and what you need to do to make your tank safe: http://www.aquaria.info/index.php?name=n...
Good luck!
chlorine ?
you need to feutralize your water something might be stuck and cause guck to inflamate on your fishes
your tank has the wrong combination of aquarium animals in it. goldfish will kill EVERYTHING except other goldfish. they give off alkaline and its harmful to other fish/frogs... secondly, your tank hasn't really been running for very long, so a couple of deaths are to be expected... your snail will probably survive. your frogs "may".. make sure that you are feeding them a sinking frog pellet--NOT FISH FOOD. the people at my pet store told me the wrong info and my son's frog almost died!! you can have neons with your frogs--as long as they are too big to fit into the frog's mouth!! (how big is your tank?)
