    Fish keep dying every two days. Thought tanks was cycled.

    I had another thought. As I probably wont get the new fish for a couple of weeks, how would it work to run only the one canister filter on tank B and bring all of the other filters. two spnge filters and a canister filter, and run them on tank A for the next two weeks. And then just before I get...

    Isn't that what was suggested using the biofiltration already established with the filter from Tank A to filter the water in tank B.

    This may not be as big of problem as it seems. As both filters are large enough by themselves to handle the tank. The only problem is I started another cycling process in the new tank using ammonia. Would it create more problems if I switched the filters in the middle of the process.

    I know it sounds confusing but perhaps if I refer to my established cichlid tank with several flourishing fish and 120 gallons as A and the tank where my fish keep dying as Tank B, it will help. About two months ago I had an angel fish and a tetra in tank b. I then moved these two fish to Tank A...

    When I got the first fish I did not wash the filter as I had transferred fish from the tank to another tank thinking it was now cycled. But after the first fish died in the new tank I did wash the filter. I had another thought, as the other tank is well established should I take some of the...

    Food varies betwen cichlid pellets, shrimp brine flakes, and blood worm flakes. I feed my other fish in the other tank the same food and they thrive. It looks like the first day they do some eating but the second day they start hiding and I don't think they eat. And then they die.
