ok then i will give the tank a good clean now since i have not been here for a week i will have to go buy some aquarium salt tomorrow hopefuly the fish can hang on for that long. thx for all the help you have been
ya main thing is clean clean water, and raise temp, if u have maybe add another jet or airstone to be safe. good luck keep us posted.
ok then i will i got one airstone rite now and a internal filter puting oxygen also in the water would i need more air in the water then that.
sould be fine, just the more water and air movement the better, alwasy helped me, just make sure u keep temp up and water clean. what size tank is it again? post pics if you can that always helps. have you tried to feed them yet?
