A bit of warning/caution. . .

I gave my son a small 4 gallon tank with 6 neons to get him into the hobby. All went great, at the 2 month mark we cleaned the tank, changed the water, and removed some small areas of algae that began growing.

We used an anti algae product that was supposed to prevent algae from forming.

Next day Armageddon. 3 fish dead, one suffering from neurological symptoms, later died. Remaining two very bad condition.

Drained 85% of the water in the tank, refilled with clean water (no algae product). Remaining 2 fish survived.

I was careful to follow manufacturer directions with the algae product.

Last time I will use that product.
