Matcom was right: My Glowlight Tetras are all dead.
Ick. I flushed one on Sunday, then the rest succumbed to the disease yesterday. I had a tank ornament in the shape of a bell where they would all go to die. How poetic- for whom the bell tolls.
You gonna get more fish? Get goldfish, they will outlive you and they eat their own shit so you hardly have to feed them and they keep the aquarium clean.
7. I'm a bit apprehensive about getting anything else.
This was my first foray into aquarium keeping, and I picked a particularly difficult breed. I have a small tank, despite many things I have read stating that beginners should start with a large community tank. At least I didn't do anything stupid like throw a chiclid into the mix...it would have been a quick meal.
And start with an easier breed - get some black tetras. That's what my aquarium guy suggests is the best fish for getting a tank going, they're hardy, hard to kill, and get along with other fish.
I suggest you move up to a ten gallon, at least - you can get full kits for $30 or less. My last kit was $27. At least a ten gallon is big enough to have a filter and heater.
I think that's why I am going to stock the tank with guppies- they should be fine in a smaller environment such as that. When I was a teen I had four that I kept in a fishbowl and they lasted a very long time.
