    Disinfecting tank with bleach how much?

    Thanks coral good article.. the part that is confusing me is 9 parts water to one part bleach.. in a 75 gallon tank that would be 8 gallons of bleach..surely 8 gallons is overkill.. I think I’m missing something. Do I mix a 9 to 1 in a bucket and dump that in the almost full tank and run...

Do I fill...

    Die off restart 75 g

    Potluck thanks for your reply.. The symptoms were one by one the fish would isolate themselves and not eat and eventually die. Two or three of the 12 that died had a curved spine. Some of the cardinals looked as though they had a black spot before they died..one of the rummies swam erratically...

    Add new fish after unknown disease

    And not to mention my 75gallon is way understocked. I have 5 cardinals and 2 rummies. So I'm certain water chemistry is not the issue. Thanks again for the reply.

    Hi. Thanks for the reply. I do 30% water changes every five to six days. I monitor everything. I keep plenty of live plants..Just trying to,diagnose what is going on. Very possible I got a bad batch with a slow acting disease. I always quarantine for minimum 4 weeks. More,than a few fish died...

    Add new fish after unknown disease

    Just noticed that one of my cardinal tetras has a dark spot greenish maybe blackish just past his gill its almost like scale discoloration? Any ideas? Looks like another spot on his body as well with the scale discoloration? Wonder if this is the problem. Thanks

    Add new fish after unknown disease

    Fish dying. Water levels perfect

    The fish that wouldn't eat died. The other fish that didn't eat for about a week finally started to eat. The 7 remaining fish I have seem to be doing fine. Would you recommend treating? None seem stressed and appear to swimming normal. If another couple weeks pass and they all stay how they...
