HELP PLEASE?!?!?
We have a 47 Gallon Bowfront Aquarium with a Marineland H.o.t. Mag 250 filter and a penguin 250 H.O.T. as well. The aquarium is well oxygenated with a bubble wall and water tested fine. The tank has been up and running since April 2011 with no problems and well maintained with 2 water changes per month with weekly top offs...while I was at work my wife decided to add water to the tank just to top it off like she has a million times....THE only thing she did different was that we purchased Nutrafin Tap Water Conditioner with stress reducing formula instead of our usual API Stress Coat. She added approx 6-8 gallons of water temp checked to tank temp of 75 deg. added 1 cap full of the Nutrafin and within 10 mins EVERY FISH WAS DEAD but 1......she was panicking and didn't know what she did or what to do.... RIP 3 pink danios, 4 blue zebra danios, 2 blue platys, 2 baby blue platys, 1 red platy, 2 Rhombo barbs, 4 lemon tetras, 6 neon tetras, 2 panda corys, 1 Albino cory....amazingly the only fish that is still alive (for now) is the whiptail cat (twigfish). I have NO CLUE what may have caused this or anything we did wrong...I am really devastated and my wife is beside herself right now..... ANY IDEAS OR THOUGHTS would be appreciated!
thanks
