  • Contaminated City Water

    So my fish have been acting a little funny, breathing rapidly and what not. I've been doing some major water changes and still it seems to be getting worse. Well two nights ago I wake up to go to work and my water won't come on. I call my neighbor later that morning and his is off and so is his mom's who lives two houses from me. I come home from work and the water is on but a little brown when it first runs out. Yesterday I get a letter from the city saying the water no longer needs to be boiled for consumption. I call them griping to no prevail because I never got a letter saying it was contaminated to begin. Needless to say when I came home today half my stock was belly up. Not trying to throw a pitty party, just needed to vent.......

                        Time to invest in a carbon bottle. I would have a carbon bottle if I had big tanks like you. I'm trying to get one soon.
