50% water change every week I change the water when I clean the filter I clean the tank every 2 weeks
change it every week is fine if you got a 55gl but a 10 i think you have to do it every 2 day lolLionDancerKN;2568795; said:
Look I'm not 100% on exactly what u do. Your fish could very well have amonia poisioning or stunted growth and messed up intestines. You should do some reading about the nitrogen cycle and how to do proper tank maintenence. You cant just clean the tank and the filter out whenever you want. You will effectively kill off all of your beneficial bacteria that maintain proper levels of ammonia and nitrites. Do a search for these things and do some reading.LionDancerKN;2568795; said:
dont want to be repetitive but, one of the previous posts is correct. with that small of a tank there are so many things that could be wrong. while stabilizing the temp may pull him out of the funk he's in today. its unlikely he will survive 6 months in that little tank.
knowledge is power- test your water!
knowing the quality of your water alows you to take steps to improve it.

Whoa! Absolutely next investment make it a 55g at least. If budget allows, try for a 75g. At least he can live in it for the rest of his life half way comfotably.
10gs are for guppies and fry! LOL
this situation is the exact reason that where i work i wont sell a fish into a tank smaller than its lifetime tank. because something always comes up, living arrangements, money etc. what ever it is its the fish that suffers. (sorry working a pet store does make you a little cynical)
i would push and push to get that "80+" (what ever that is) into your current house. put it in the basement, in the closest, where ever. doesnt matter if its a good display location. you said yourself that you're moving soon.

I'm only 13 I live with my grandma, and she won't let me bring a bigger tank home cause it's her house and my aunt already has another tank
