Almost a wipe out

Post by fhm_usa » Tue Mar 17, 2009 2:41 am

On another website that I'm a member this guy I think had like 38 loaches on his tank and what happend was he said he forgot to wash his hands after doing the laundry I think he said it was because he bleached his clothes and he did water change on his tank and what happend next was devastation of the 38 cl's he was only able to save 15 and the rest where dead, it sucks to hear and see things happen that way poor loaches:(!

Its shocking what a simple mistake can do :(

I do know someone who wiped out his tank but with bleach but he had taken some rocks out and scrubbed them in bleach and after a quick rinse just placed them back in the tank :shock: , needless to say he was a complete moron and had no shortage of people telling him so :evil:

There are so many things that are toxic to fish, shrimp, and snails that can get into our tanks!

Sometimes you never do figure out what happened.
38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.

Happy fish keeping!
