Hi! I'm about to turn thirteen and people have been wondering what i want for my birthday i don't really know either though. So my question is what would be some good birthday gifts? Also, what are some good theme's? I was thinking maybe a rollerskating theme but i need more ideas!

Answer
Hi! I'm thirteen too! For my birthday party I did an 80's theme! It was really fun! Lol but then again, rollorskateing sounds fun too!! I would want maybe an I-tunes gift card ( if u have an I-pod! ) or maybe jewelry ( from Claire's, Aeropostale, or body central) or just a cute shirt!! :)

What am I doing wrong with my fish tank?

LilbitFier

I have freshwater fish, guppies. This is a brand new tank due to the last set dying because,(the pet store said), the tank was too small. Now I have a 10 gallon tank and every couple of days, I find a dead fish. I keep the temp. between 78 and 80 degrees. I am careful about how much I feed them. I used distilled water when I started the tank. I know it is pass the new tank stage. I am just lost as to what is killing them. If anyone can help me figure this out, please email me. The tank was a birthday gift for my son for his birthday, he earned it by A, B honor roll and I don't want him to come home to all his fish being dead again.
Any help would be just wonderful, Thanks! Oh and the PH is correct too.
See this angers me. Our local pet store told me to use distilled water! Can I add spring water a little at a time and it not hurt them? They are all the same kind of fish too.
Yes I cleaned it first and let the water sit for 24 hrs. You may be right about not being meant to have fish. I am really beginning to wonder. My son worked so hard for the grades and this is what he asked for. Might have to get him to change his mind. LOL
Let me also say that I really appreciate everyones help. You all have been very helpful. I am going to have the water tested, again. Maybe I can save the fish. I do have a safe tank too. Please, keep replying if anyone has anymore advice or links I can learn from. Thanks so much.
I think I will use a different pet store too!
mrbts..... thanks for the link, very helpful.
I ve had the tank for 2 months at least. There are 5 small guppies in it.

I read somewhere that you shouldn't use distilled water in fishtanks as it doesn't have the right minerals that fish need.Maybe that could be the problem?
This site has a chart with some info about distilled water in fishtanks - they don't reccomend it, they're talking about betta's but i think it applies to all fish.
