Well if the wife wouldn’t be happy about using the bath then Simplest answer for sinking the wood is to get rid of the wife😂

So this has happened the last twice I’ve did water changes. On both occasions two of my five striped barbs have had their stomachs bursting. They have obviously died instantly. Will this be some sort of bug or is it to do with water pressure or something. Sorry for the horrible photo. Any...

Thanks Alice. Going through a total wipeout,and almost twice must have been really bad,so no wonder you thought about not setting back up. You did though and in my view that’s a sign of a real aquarist,to suffer a blow like that and come back. I hope your aquarium or aquariums run good fir you...

Parameters are good InsaneM. I test them regularly with a comprehensive kit👍

Yes Alice,but turning the tank temp down helped me recognise the disease as ich,so if I didn’t turn it down the fish would still be passing one by one. I will keep this in mind in future. Thanks for the reply👍
