So, I put my new "art project" in the tank, and today when I woke up, both the BGK and D. Gourami were looking sickly! (Breathing fast, not eating, and the DG's colors are darker, which is my signal something is wrong). ACK! So I changed 50% of the water and also changed out the filter cartridges in the big filter to have some new carbon in there to maybe filter out whatever was making them sick, and went to a basketball game. Well, when I got home, they were still being weird and still not wanting to eat. I moved them to the 20G with the loaches and 2 H. Rasb.'s until I can get all of the water out of the big tank and new in...
So far, the BGK is more lively and not hanging out by the filter output, breathing faster than he usually does, but the DG is still looking sickly and just hanging out in the corner.
Does anyone have any idea what could have caused this? The art project was a piece of pvc pipe which was cleaned and soaked (also rated for drinking water and not sewage), the beach glass was cleaned and soaked for days, the sand is the same sand I have in the tanks (pfs) and the silicone I used was the stuff for outdoors and NOT anti-mildew. I am thinking it was the silicone that made the tank funky? I hope these two make it because they are my favorite!
Thanks!
