troph sits at bottom

[schance]

i have it hooked up to my shower.... closest water source and it just has a single knob that goes from off to hot

[eklikewhoa]

I would probably stop wasting the Clout at this point then.

[schance]

ya im not dosing anymore and i dont have any left im pretty sure it was the temp change that did it.

[semper]

+1 on the temp.

i'm almost sure thats what did you in

[eklikewhoa]

Didn't you say the tank was 80?

the bit of info that is lacking even though it might seem small its detrimental for anyone to offer any kind of help.

[schance]

it i a 90 gallon and im not sure about anything right now i did a water change and they are looking a bit better but still alot of sitting on the bottom. and i do apologize for not having more info i just cant test for it and dont have the time or money to get it tested. mabe this week i can take it to FR and test it there

[semper]

so how many do you have left?

[schance]

i have 7 now and amtrying to not let these die

i am thinking about trying to find a decent home for them and maybe get a little of what i paid for them so ya anyone out there looking to add to there colony

I just recently switched to Prime in the last 2 years and not had any problems, but Im not performing 90% water changes.

The 90% Hot water change could have been the ajor issue.

How long you've had these fish, and how often have you water changed them just like this?

[schance]

ive had them for about 2 months and started doing these type of WC for one month but not at that temp difference they remaining 7 are looking better

[eklikewhoa]

I have found cold water gives more room for error then hot water ever will.

I let my tank get down to 74-75 at times when refilling with zero issues

[schance]

i have found that as well with other fish

One of my friends did a waterchange for me this past weekend. I forgot to tell them about the temperature and needing to add some hot water to help balance it somewhat.

The tanks were all in the mid 60's. I told her to turn off all the ceiling fans and the AC and turn on all the lights to get the temperature back up.

This was Friday. Several of those tanks are just barely back into the mid-70's. I dont run heaters but in a few tanks. Those are back to 78-80.

The key with temperature is to do it slowly. I have experienced where my fish get eye cloud, from when I jacked up the temperautre to almost 90 and then all I did was turn off the heater. It cooled down within a couple hours to 78 and a number of them came down over the next few days with eye cloud.

I spent almost 3-4 days jacking the temperautre up that high.

well mine was from hot to hotter in a matter of minutes but i think had i given it more time i would be alot better off but good news the remaining seven are doing great

[geoff_tropheus]

good news man..they all eating ok then?
