Java Moss
I prefer plants and have always had them in my tanks. Recently I bought a couple balls of Java Moss for an established tank. I received them and they looked great. I rinsed them off and put them in the tank. Within 10 days, my three black kuhli loaches lay dying on the gravel. These guys were with me for over 5 years without any problems. Shortly after that, my entire kuhli loach colony lay dying on the gravel and elsewhere. These guys had been with me for about 4 years and were doing great. Never sick, never had a problem with them. I have more black kuhlis in another tank (same group and doing great), but my regular kuhlis are wiped out now.
Where did I go wrong? It looked great. No snails, no smell. Just nice looking moss.
I am closing down that tank now. With the electricity so darn high around here I might just as well try saving a little bit. I have 4 other tanks running.
