I disposed of it but this is very sad for me….. It was one that I THOUGHT might have a issue, and was gonna ask colu, but today around 10:15, went into the room, and it was all laced up, clamped fin, and sideways. 😔 so sad. Idk what happened! Ammonia, barely above 0. But I mean BARELY, was planning on a change today. (Wc) burn then this happened. Nitrite 0 too. 😭😭😭😭 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony s Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Sorry to hear about that. I think, unfortunately, that's part of the process. They're not meant to be in little glass boxes. It takes a bit to get them settled. As long as you stay on top of your water conditions. Everything else is up to them. We just try to give them the best we can do. They're still animals and have frailties like everything else. After they've been there for a bit, they should be fine, but it's the settling in process that takes a toll I lose animals that way. Fish and lots of others. Unfortunately, I've been around animal and death my whole life. We used to raise and clean animals for our own food when I was young. Guys around here still do. And hunt. I just can't do that. Makes me a bit of an oddball around here. I've hunted twice and watched 2 small animals die at my hands. I won't own a gun again. But anyway. as long as you know you've done your best, it's all you can do 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is much better than store meat, but like shooting a bird, I just can’t! Idk why, but it makes me so sad. I am going to a 20% wc in a few mins. And make sure all parameters are ship shape. Thanks Tony, it is sad but I guess all animals go through this. Just has to happen. Cursed world, sickness and illness. No way around it. Thanks twice.

Can we go back to prime-time and say hi 🤣 She also made a friend in Dustin. She won his kids aqua-scaping contest.

Was also there when Rob and Jason did the mechanical fish riding ( by pure luck). He's right, he may have lasted 3 seconds. But he was on the way down as soon as it started 🤣 They seem to be great people. Just as you would hope they were. a lot like what you see in their videos On 8/16/2024 at 5:33 PM, Shiba said: What video was that? Right after the bettas from Prism. Right at 6 minute mark.

Whitecloud09 Posted August 19 Author Share Posted August 19 I might clean Sponge filter today. Any thoughts? Like make it a water change? @Tony s, I watched this vid a few mins ago and Cory said, don’t clean filters during change cause you want that to suck up the debris and algae while you clean. Do you agree? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExqP0qkbyJw&t=584s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony s Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 On 8/19/2024 at 4:08 PM, Whitecloud09 said: Do you agree? Yeah, i think that's right. clean your glass and then substrate, water change, then when the water clears, do the sponge. That way it can get everything leftover from the water change. Or, if you're doing a very deep water change. You can do it before the change. But I'm talking like a 75% change. not sure you do any of those 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
