Ottos!

I wouldn't think that's the reason, but why do you turn it off? I don't know, I guess it would change the amount of aeration in the tank on a daily basis.

Maybe I'm humanizing my fish too much.., id think it would be harder to sleep without ever being able to get away from the water movement... Am I wrong? Haha.. I'm feeling kinds silly at the moment

The most important factor in fishkeeping appears to be consistency. My gut tells me the wise thing is not to make that change every day.

And um, yeah, if you want to feel silly about it, that's your privilege.

Low flow?
I just have the walmart strip.,, don't know about adjusting anything on that.. Hmm

 

[adadkins1]

If you want to adjust the flow on an airstone, get a gang valve. It is made so that you can bleed off some of the air pressure and thus reduce the flow of the airstone.

I agree that otos just die sometimes. I am sorry about your loss though.
I am sure its not your fault. You have no idea how the fish was treated on its venture from the river to the store. Does the store replace dead ones?

Fish are really expensive over here. I payed $12 for my gold gourami and $5 each for my harlequin rasboras (had 16 now at 7!!). I've seen panda cories for $16 each!

You can out him in a bag and put it in the freezer. Thats what I do when I have to take a fish back to PetCo.

Ooooo :-( saw him this morning and triple checked and flushed. Next time I'll think of that.

I put Cesar in the freezer for a couple days till we decided if we were going to bury him or dispose of in trash...

 

[absolutangel04]

Yeah, the freezer thing works. I actually was given that advice from PetCo.
Are your other guys still doing well?
