How big is your tank & what are the tankmates?. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

This will help us work out what the problem is in the tank. If you dont have the testkits take a sample of the water to your lfs and ask them to test. Get them to write the results down in numbers. Dont accept "fine" as their answer. What filtration is on the tank? How often do you clean the tank? What percentage of water do you change out?
