My husband and I have had our tank for close to one year. Everything was going great. We had some trial and error at the beginning but had worked everything out. We had added a UV sterilizer and not seen any signs of ich or any other diseases. The only fish trouble lately was the occasional fin biters.
My husband added stress coat to the tank Friday night at about 10. Just did this as we had been instructed for routine maintenance. No big deal! ?
At 4 a.m. he came downstairs with our baby who sometimes will only stop crying when she sits and watches the fish only to find that they had ALL died
We had watched all of them grow for the last year. We had 6 angels that ranged from4 to6 inches. 3 bala sharks that were 8 inches long. A my husbands pride was his Ghost Knife that had grown to 10 inches long.
We were just sick
He checked the water. The ph, nitrites, amonia levels everything was just as it always has been. The temperature was the same. The only thing we
could think was maybe it was the stress coat??? I have heard a few people say this has happened when they used it as well but mostly everyone has talked about how much they loved the stuff. I'm not sure what it was?
Is there anything that anyone can think of that maybe we overlooked?
We are afraid to start over and have the same thing happen next year. It has been a sad weekend for our family
We are thinking that if we try again we would like to put a variety of chichlids so we need to know also what the best ph level, temperature etc. for them would be and also what they are compatiable with?
