Need help ASAP

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Before I go and do anything else stupid, is there anything else to know about tank setup? I have a large side mounted filter that pulls from the bottom and dumps back in. There are no plants or anything, just gravel. Temps are good as well as the rest of the parameters.
 
I just put the fish in the tank. Two are looking healthy. Two are a little wobbly. That makes 4 total alive but I don't expect the two to make it. One looks real bad.
 
Kind of a waste to check a tank w/o any fish in it. With only 4, 1" fish, you should be fine.
 
I suggest you put some decor in there, to make the fish feel safe.
 
Correct there are 5. One must have snuck in the net. Three are looking pretty good. One look really bad and the other is iffy, but still active. They all look like they are recovery significantly. I will post pics tonight. I have my doubts that they are red bellies.
 
Ohh, I put a little bit of baby brine shrimp in there and they seem to be eating it, but I can't see it anymore. Should I put a small piece of something else in there? Maybe something they can nibble on or is the baby brine shrimp fine? It is the kind that comes in frozen cubes.
 
not sure if they are natts, huh? we'll let you know for sure when you post up those pics later...

baby brine shrimp is fine, good quality flakes and bloodworms would be good choices as well, just make sure not to overfeed them since the tank is new and overfeeding can fould up their water in a hurry.
 
I just put one cube in there which might be a little much but they are still eating. Here are some pics. Sorry about the quality. I also didn't realize how dirty the outside of the tank was until I took pics.
