Here’s what went down. Last night I did a 20% water change on my 60 gallon tank, nothing out of the ordinary. I put in the proper amount of additives and everything. This morning my water was cloudy AND there was a casualty. One of my Bosemian Rainbow was lying dead in the sand of the tank. It...

I’m considering moving my (4 large)Boesemani Rainbow out of my 60 gallon cichlid tank and into an old 30 tall show tank with the built in Eclipse filtration system. They’re actually doing fine in the tank they’re in now and have been there for 9 months, but I’ve got that old tank sitting there...
