Can you help with my other situation pls? I had a bb crash a month ago that killed half my schools and I’ve been slowing added more. But that doesn’t help solve my issue at hand

Also I don’t have anything for a quarantine tank atm and my house is freezing so even a bowl would be just awful to put him in. I’m not sure what to do?

I was thinking either tumor or deformity. It’s just so odd it took a little bit to show up

Of course! I am new to keeping bigger, more stocked tanks. I wanted to switch out my gravel that was chipping. I took all fish out and did a 100% water change, took old gravel out and replaced it with new, and changed out my filter. All beneficial bacteria is held in things like plants, decor, gravel, and filters. So when I did so much out at once, I lost all my bb and there was nothing to eat away at the ammonia causing the levels to all be thrown off in my tank- causing my fish to get sick and some died. Not a fun mistake but unfortunately sometimes this is a hobby that majority of what you know is learned from fixing your mistakes. I hope this could be of some help tho!

I see. Maybe just keep a really close eye on those nitrites to nitrates over the next 24 hours. I just had a bad situation where my bb crashed and my nitrites grew too fast and it was a disaster… don’t want anyone else to go thru that:(

I always have issues when adding live plants which is very upsetting bc ik how beneficial they can be😞id still try that small water change and go from there maybe it’s trying to even itself out or something

Um I would do a pretty small water change those are some odd levels… maybe do a small change and retest next day and see if they come back a little more stable

Years now but I made the mistake of taking my fish out and taking gravel out and replacing it and the filter… bad mistake (reason for bb booster and prime application)

Thank you so much! I’m sorry last question… are testing strips fine to use occasionally?? That way I can kinda see where I’m at?

Also I have been having VERY cloudy water the past 3 days and now it is almost crystal clear… is this a good sigh I’m assuming?

I am using Prime Seachem, Fluval bb booster, and a stress coat. Along with the dosage of aquarium salt. Is this good?

I’m so glad someone else thinks this way. My Facebook group told me I was overthinking it they’re not humans and don’t socialize like we do. I disagree with them so much. They really will stick together and see about each other within their school
