I agree with the filter issue. Many tanks come with a filter that is indequate for a stocked tank - therefore, a 10gal tank comes with one rated for up to 10gal which isn't enough for a 10gal with fish in it.

I would also do larger than 25% water changes at this point (more like 50%) - even if they don't help the fish you mentioned, you want to avoid further stress/illness until you can start testing your own parameters.46 gal fw tank with black skirt tetras, neon tetras, spotted cory catfish, cherry barbs, guppies, snails & 4 amano shrimp - plastic & live plants
5 gal QT with green corys & 2 guppies

It's not as if it is an extremely simple calculation or a search that Google literally completes for you.

Do you ever post how many liters your tanks are for the many users here that don't live in the US? Don't you think it is a little rude to expect the rest of the world (the US is one of only three countries that don't use the metric system) to conform to your math inadequacies? For those of you who don't know how to convert liters to gallons the formula is very simple, (liters).264 or in this case 125 x .264 = 33. If this is still to much math to wrap your brain around there is a handy calculator that will do the conversion for you in the left hand menu.

If it's called tourist season why can't I shoot them?
Brutal honesty will be shown on this screen.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Tolerance is a great thing to have, so is the ability to shut up.
