fussy eaters?
Thank you Neale for getting back to me, I shall try as you suggested with varied ‘greens’. Your site is excellent and I have learnt a lot more over the last few days. My story is: I have kept fish for quite a few years, I’ve always had a large tank, 4ft long and never overcrowded (about 6-8 fish or so) so had not encountered any previous problems. When my last fish died a few months back I decided to go for a smaller tank (the 4′ was really too large for my room). I bought my tank from my local aquatic shop (where I have always gone to), it is roughly 37 litres, (yes, my 4′ left little room for me!) set it up, left it 7 days, took a water sample to the shop, they tested it, said it was ok so I chose 2 Orandas. They are quite small at the moment. The fish seemed fine for the first couple of days then one just lay on the bottom and the other hid behind the filter. This is when I contacted you because I noticed they spat out their food too. I have spent hours reading your various bulletin
