Dear all,

I am an aquarium enthusiast who had to stop the hobby for some time. I made a new aquarium last week. Just bought some fish however a few die every other day. Yesterday a Hoplo catfish died. The Hoplo was quite normal and ate normally. I only noticed that yesterday it spend some time going fast up towards the surface and then getting back to the bottom. Is that normal? Anyone has some help?

thanks.

Hi,
You can check them with water test kits.Ask your aquatic dealer and he will give you.This kits are a must when you keep freshwater fishes.
