The Texas looks like a Greenie to me, but you sure do ask alot of convict breeding questions given your name is convict_breeder....
 
Massive brown algae bloom will be down to high levels of nitrates C_B. That'll bump your fish off before you know it.

More water changes, and a bigger tank.

Why are you still buying fish you cant house for life?

completely agree. you need to think about the consequences of your actions on the fish. you keep buying fish you cannot possibly house for life. as they grow their living conditions will verge from "barely adequate" to cruel and someone will eventually report you to authorities for it. its just a matter of time. for your own sake and the fishes stop buying potentially large fish that need large houses before you get a criminal record. you dont come across as a purposefully bad person but you persist in doing bad things to your pets when you do know better. you basically have a cage match waiting to happen in there. one will die its just a matter of who can grow the fastest.

oh yeah and why is there a CD in the tank?

Maybe he's is trying to quicken spawn and its a Barry White CD.....:ROFL: Ok, bad joke.....
 
its not in the tank lol its on the side of the tank so i can get my fish to get a KOK, lol. and my aunt wont allow me to do W/C so heres whjat im doin now.
i got my old W/C bucket thingy and 2 hose pipe one to go and suck the water in and one to suck the water out and 2 filter media. ok i got one hose in the bucket to go to the tank so the water in the bucket goes to the tank and the other hose in the tank to the bucket so i can get the water from the tank in the bucket so it can be clean and teh water goes threw the filter media then up over the filter and into the return hose to go to the tank and visa versa i got a clean tank. but im workin on my 10 gallon to see if this project actualy works.
 
they wont be alive long enough to develop koks. especially if your not allowed to do water changes. and if ive grasped the water change/cleaning method right then you will not take out any of the chemicals that a water change is used to get rid of. the only thing you may remove is particulate matter which is the least important of the waste products to be removed IMO.
if your no longer allowed to do water changes you need to get out of the hobby until you can give fish the life they deserve, your being cruel otherwise and i think you do know better so your doing it knowing the consequences on your fish which makes it even worse. im not flaming you im just pointing out the cold hard facts that you may have over looked.
wait until you move out then start up again. keep the equipment but give up the hobby till your out of that horrible house so you can do what you like and are able to do basic maintenance like a water change.
 
and now that i think of it... i think ima add another filter on the 29, right now it has a filter rated for a tank to 30-60 gallons and i could readd my filter that came with my 29. would that help out tell im able to upgrade within 3 to 6 months?
