FINALY OUT!!!

Post by Hell Fire » Fri Jan 05, 2007 10:39 am

Well FINALY mt 3 clowns have ventured out and about and are swimming about!! Shame as there about to move tank next week and fear it may take as long for them to come out again in the day!!
Its quite odd actually as to why now they have come out and a few other factors have made me think. 1 the oxygen etc is fine but my tetras seem to be hanging at the top like there isnt, 2 the loaches are swimming yes, resting yes all be it in very odd positions and places upside down etc BUT they are also bobbing up to the surface and nearly poking their mouths out the water!!??? Im now a bit worried as to why they are bobbing like that occasionaly?! The aerators on now just encase, all the water stats are fine, no look of illness etc so why now and whats going on? Im stumped! :?:

nothing specific to see out of your description. Even if the parameters seem fine I´d do at least 50% waterchange with water conditioner.
Can you post a pic of the tank?

Thanks but they ALL died! Think the tank somehow got poisoned. Long story but devastated. All happend within a matter of hours. Never seen anything so quick in all my time of fish keeping.

So sorry to hear it! :cry:

It's devastating when you see something that seems a bit off, then suddenly, it's too late. My sympathies.
