yo bro badrang, just out of curiosity, is there any specific reason u have CAE in your tank?

heh, just want to know only. because last time i've ditched my CAE from my guppy tank (not even planted tank) because they keep harassing my guppies. huhuhu~!! and not to mentioned the adult size of it... bleh, almost about 4 inch and its mouth can eat my fries and cherry with just a gulp. LOL~!!...

CAE isn't really suited for a small/medium size tank with community fishes, IMHO.

They're not really algae eaters and will get aggressive as they get older.

oh i overlooked that, CAE a big no no..

my tank till now not yet setup also ==
still searching all the stuff "PATIENCELY"

wuahaha, chupps chupops....

hey there bro, i think u better state out ur tank specs like the lights, photo-period, ferts u used, how often u dose the co2 pill and also the basic things, the size of your tank along with the rest i mentioned. Then you can get better help from others and more specifics. Otherwise, it'll be just a random guessing game. Since this time already be a guessing game and I love games, so I joined in

1) - sounds like lack of nutrients to me. imbalance or issuficient lights and co2 (more likely lights). but heh... just a wild guess

2) - fish will be inactive when the lights are off expecially at night. it's their sleeping/rest time. when the lights turned on in a sudden, the fishes will get stunted for a moment. it's normal.

fish gasping on the surface for air showing that they lack of oxygen to breath. either you get a powerhead or airpump, or reduce the amount of fish in your tank (might be overcrowded).

fish dies not only caused by one reason. there's a lot of reasons a fish will die. ammonia spike, overstocked, stress (most of the time), sick (also got alot of varieties in fish desease), and other. cant tell you why your fish die. most of the time, fish wont die in just a snap (except when u put them in a boiled water or something similar). they'll show some sign.... next time, observe any unusual habit of your fish and get your answers.

gd luck bro.
