[AquaticLife] Finished Cycling????
Actually, Lenny, one of the fish has made it thru this whole cycling thing and he is fine. Another one has also been in there for a couple of weeks and he is OK too. Yes, those are the bags that I am using. They don’t have compartments. One slips onto the black plastic and then you add the pre-measured carbon. That is what I have been doing.
Will soak the blood worms from now on. I just broke off a small hunk and put it in. Most are gone before they hit the bottom. Thinking about this, I “think” I have noticed that a couple of the fish seemed to go down hill after I added water or did the 25% PWC. I use my glass measuring cup (I make sure it is clean) and add 4 cups of water when I am just bringing the water level back up. I have been using Tetra Aqua Safe - usually 2-3 drops in the measuring cup. Can this stuff go bad? There is no expiration date on the bottle. My last fish started shimmying after I added water. Would 4 cups in a 10 gal tank cause problems for the fish??? Tests show no chlorine in the water.
What I see is new fish are fine for a couple of weeks, then they start to shimmy and quit eating. Unfortunately, they live for many days before they actually die.
I will read the articles you suggested in the morning.
