Well where to start! I used to have a very nice tank. 160l and a variety of nice fish.
< x1 parrot fish (orange)
<x5 upside down cat fish
<x 4 swordtails both male and female
Then one day two weeks ago it all changed and the tanks eco system crashed. I took tank readings the day before this happened and all was economicly stable, as it had been for months before.
But The day after it was time for its water change, 25% as i normaly did around this time each month. This one month I decided to change my water dechlorinater from tetra safe to another treatment, which I wont name. But I think the reason why I am writing this is more of a BEWARE really, on using this new substance which it said on the package it does the same as the tetra variaty.
I did the water change as usual, but noticed that the water was slightly more cloudier then usual. But thought no more of it, thinking that it would settle.
Iwent to work.....
On returning I found my fish tank black! the water turned to a tar consistancy.
The fish dead.
Beware of cheaper brands is my message.
I defantly will from now on!!
