Really Unexpected.

[GP]

I don't know how it happened, but my puffer died. I changed the water, used a different bucket but it was completely fine no ammonia. I changed his water, proper salt added, and was going to feed him an hour later when the water settled. Went back to find him in a plant, dead. I checked the ammonia levels, zero. Other parameters, perfect. I haven't fed him in 2 days, but I was just doing a simple fast. No way that could have caused it. I'm really bummed, I had his future tank and everything. Man.....


Now I have a empty 6 gallon, and a 30 gallon with no fish plans what-so-ever. Obviously I'm not going to stop, so what do you think I should do now? I really want to have more then one fish for the 30 gallon, but I may just go order another GSP.

Sorry to hear it, GP.


I'd go with shellies for your 30g.

WHAT!!!!!!!

 

[GP]

WHAT!!!!!!!

Yeah, it was really unexpected. My theory was that it was something in the gravel. See, at first, my gravel was way too thick and for too long. I lowered it, but I didn't do a water change after that. Possibly some bacteria infection.

I'm thinking about Figure 8's for the thirty.

That would be nice! But you'd have to lower the salinity of the tank.

I won't be putting them in my 6, I'm going to wait until I get my 30 set up.

What will you be putting in your 6g?

You could make a mini community.

Possibly put some bettas in there.
