Hey everyone. I have a question about my tank........ all of my fish have died except the four glow fish and one alege eater. We re-did our tank today, took old water out and added new (I know that screwed up the cycle) and now we just have the heater and the filter running. I read on a site about something called "fur coat syndrome"? I think my fish had that because they were all pretty furry. The ones that died but not the glow fish/alege eater. It said that syndrome happened when the fish were in to cold of water and I noticed when my air conditioner came on it caused the tanks temp to drop. How can I fix that? Anyway my questions are........ If those fish did have "fur coat syndrome" and I put the surviving fish back into the new water (they are in a smaller tank right now with the old water in that tank) will any new fish I buy get that syndrome? Also we went to the pet shop today and the guy told us that we could be over feeding our fish and thats why the water went bad so fast. He told us to feed every other day and just a small amount.
Do you think the water will stay reletively clean if we only had a few fish in a 30 gal tank? I'd like to have a betta, alege eater and I saw some bala sharks at the pet shop today that looked pretty cool. Two of them?? Thanks!
