I have a figure 8 puffer who has been acting kind of funny lately. I was out of the country for 10 days and I left him in the care of my dad who isn’t the most reliable fish keeper. Anyway, now that I am back my fish has been acting really weird. he wont eat anything, and he just swims up and down the wall of the tank right under the waterfall from my filter. I talked to the pet store guy and he thinks that hes hanging out there because there is more oxygen, but I have an air stone in my tank. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong with my fish? I think it might be a water quality issue, but I did a 30% water change when I got back and the ammonia is at 0.
why did you just call me that?! That is extremely rude and uncalled for

This is a demo of the new water quality colorimeter and the ez sample reagents. We can measure Iron, Sulfate, Nitrate, Ammonia, Flouride, Phosphate and Chloride ions this way.

I have asked this question before; but people don’t seems to get what I mean so I’ll try to ask it differently. In a fish aquarium isn’t the water quality all about nitrate; ammonia; pH levels etc? Hypothetically even if there is a lot of waste but all levels are fine aren’t the fish fine? Isn’t it all about levels?
Venice hypothetically means lets just pretend. Also there are neutralizers on the market.
I agree with they need an ecosystem; thats kind of my question. Even if your water appears dirty as long as the levels are fine the fish are fine; correct?
Cleaning the water to much will destroy natural bacteria; so as long as the levels are fine; the tank and fish are fine?
Almost what I’m looking for Donna. If all levels are fine; and a water change hasn’t been done in 6 months; the tank is fine; right?
yes venice; but if nitrate/nitrite are in adequate levels the tanks fine; right?
Guppy guy thank you. That’s all I wanted to know; very simple answer to simple question. More answers like Guppy Guy’s edit would be appreciated agreeing or disagreeing with him
Also guppy guy you bring up a good point in that example; waste is still present but the levels would be fine. I guess the person with 6 neons has achieved what 99.9% of other fish keepers couldn’t

Hi, I just want to know what are the signs of good water quality for fish, well in my tank I always do 20% water changes weekly.

(Please dont mention the test readings of ammonia and nitrate whether it is bad or good I just want to know common good signs).
