Hi Guys,
as the topic reads ive had a filter crash, clown plec un-charicteristically visible for the past couple of days and now dead, 2 ottos gone.

out with the test kit and ammonia reading around 1 on the test - api freshwater kit... never had ammonia reading that high before...

on with a 50% water change but no access to any chemical quick fire remedies till tomorrow - the dilemma is my 2 badis are looking very off, heavy breathing and way too dark; do I transfer them now and risk extra stress or leave them where they are and hope for the best?????


cheers
Craig
 
you're best off moving them, if you have a place. They'll die for sure in a tank with 1ppm of ammonia.
