I washed everything out in a bucket of tank water. I didn't realise the filter bacteria could die off so quickly after being turned off though so I won't do that again. I didn't clean the gravel at all this time but when I do I try get in to it not just the top but my rock work takes up quite a...

Thanks for all the info Colin! No I had not introduced anything new before they started dying but it was dirty.... I had sprayed some fly spray in the kitchen a few days earlier, I know fly spray is toxic to fish, its possible a small amount may have drifted over but that was days before...

I'll give it a go. Trying to find dosage rates which are still ok for plants and cordys... I came across a post, which was for a betta, that noted the following rates, would this work? I read on another page though to use 1 tablespoon every three gallons which is significantly more...

I couldn’t really get a good photo… this is the guy from today that died

Hi guys, I am relatively new to freshwater, I have kept salt water for 10 years now. My tank is around 170L, I have had it running for around 6 months now. I'll be honest and admit my cleaning had been a bit lax recently so that is no doubt a contributing factor... Last Saturday I woke to...
