Bad Things Happen For A Good Reason Eh,

[FWFishLover]

Well a couple days ago i found out that the reason i had such cloudy water all the time was because when i put my gravel in the tank i placed it in straight from the bag and hadn't washed it...so.....i removed all my fish (kept 20% of the water) and then lets just say i hadn't started at the greatest time and had to leave everyone in their overcrowded bowls and containers overnight then i had to go to school in the morning and after a half an hour-hour of cleaning the tank and gravel and lets just say everything was a disaster because of 80% tap water and i a broken filter
the following fish died:
3x mollies
1x swordtail
1x angelfish
29/30 fry
the filter later started working
but its weird though,
i almost like my tank more with the current stocking
6x albino cories
2x guppies
1x molly fry (separated but in same tank)

i'm definitely am admiring my guppies alot more and the fry is really funny and of course him being the only fry survivor of the "plague" he's now named "lucky"

That really was a bad decision to start a big clean like that just before bedtime! fishies
Maybe your tank looks better now 'cos the water's clear?

Hi FWFishLover

We all make mistakes and that's one thing you surely won't do again. I hope you share this lesson with others who are setting up tanks and might be inclined to do the same thing.
