I basically came home from uni and the tank was gross, there was nothing i could do other than do a complete water change.
I took everything out and rinsed it under tap water
The stones and plants and filter still had a lot of the algae in it, and i put in tonics to get rid of the chlorine.
My fish are currently in a temporary fish tank which has old water in it, but there is nothing in there and they haven't eaten for 4 days and are generally unhappy.
Would it be safe to put them back in the tank? It would be to about 5 parts new water and 1 part old - however i feel they will die anyway if i keep them in the smaller tank.
Advice? I don't want to kill them and I have nothing to test the water - i'm a student and my bank balance is currently at ?1.38
Help?!?!
