Anyone had any bad expriences with this?
Had no problems whatsoever with my dads aquarium, except for a small snail gathering. All the fish perfectly healthy and water perimeters as they should be. Was in the lfs today and my dad decided to purchase some King British snail control. Got home, read the instructions and guides and did everything as specified.
However, the fish are now acting...wierd.
My galaxy rasbora change colour during the night. They go a cream colour when the lights are off. However when the lights are on, within 5 minutes they are ok, so I assume this is just normal for them as I've seen it with other fish. They only do it at night. However they are all now this cream colour and are showing no signs of changing.
The platy, which is usually the most active thing I've ever seen, is motionless next to the filter intake. My sparkling gourami are motionless and every so often seem to go into a little swimming spurt where they'll fly around the tank and then suddenly stop.
My pygmy cories, amano shrimp and red nose shrimp are all acting normal, no change in behaviour.
When I switched the lights off, it did seem to bring the platy to life and it was swimming around the tank. When I switched them back on it seemed startled and went back to the bottom of the tank next to the intake, as though it was in shock.
Could it be this snail control stuff? It seemed to go like this very quickly, so I'm not entirely sure it's the cause. I mean 4ml of treatment surely can't be enough to take effect so quick and cause such changes? Or am I completely wrong?
