To many water changes

[lungfish]

if it really was 15 then being kept in a 4ft for all that time probable would of been the end of him. where as 1 being kept in a much large tank would probable be able to live up to about 20-25 i would expect from that size fish.

ass rdd1952 large changes in water chemistry will only happen whne regular water changes aren't being done. it may of been the shock of nitrates. if he hadn't changed the wate for a while the the lung fish would of slowly been getting used to high nitrates then a large water change would suddenly drop these levels thus shocking the fish and possible dieing as a result along side the PH shock of a large water change.

I'l ask what I did on the other site, what was your PH beforw you desided to mess with it.

How often do you do water changes??

and what are the results of Ammonia, NitrIte and NitrAte.
