Ok this is nothing new but I need some help try to diagnose what has happened. This happened a few days ago before he arrival of the 265
Here is the story. I use a python to do what changes on all my tanks. They are all very healthy but we keep the nets in a solution of ICK away as a precaution. We also add aquarium salt to all the tanks ...just becuase it makes everyone calm and happy. On the big tanks, I have UV filters....why....just becuase. I have not added any new fish in a while and over filter all of my tanks.
The other night I was doing normal water changes. I typically suck the water down and then fill it back up as to clean the python of anything before moving to the next tank. I also add stress coat. The water that I put in is also the same temp or a little lower. I am on a well so the water has little to no chlorine in it.
I started with the 45 hex puffer and that was fine. Then went to the 55 comunity and it went ok. I went to the 135 and within 10 minutes of filling it up I noticed my Leo's start to choke then all my fish started gettting real sluggish. This was only 25-50% water change. I even retested the incoming water???
holy crap...panic mode.....dump the rock out .....pull the plants... started moving fish to the 110 and 65 ad 29.
I lost all 3 leos one tiger loach, a green terror, red borley, msobo, female blue ahli and a dimisoni. Here is the thing. when I looked at the 55, there were two congo tetras...swimming upside down and dieing..nothing else in the tank, just those two died.
I have to be mindful that when you keep fish as a hobby then you will have to expect to loose some here and there. Problem is I want to know WHY I loose them and then I can make the changes and move forward. I am very methodical and keep a running diary of all the changes on all the tanks....why..just becuase..
I am at a loss here and devastated over the sudden loss
So all the fish that I moved out have been fine and doing ok with no other issues. Any ideas or help or advice or questions to help narrow down this would be great.
