I bought a new hob filter a few months ago and after doing a straight swap of media(identical filter) the blasted thing started making noises last night :crazy: i managed to stop it,but got up this morning to find my juvi tank in a cloudy bloom :shout:
I did an immediate waterchange just in case,and all appeared fine,zero ammonia and nitrite,so i can't understand why its cloudy...
Its still cloudy now,but i have decided to take all 40 albino & bronze juvis around 4-5 months old to the lfs and hope they have room for them.
I've tried phoning but keep getting their answerphone :unsure:

So fingers crossed,the filter has a 2 yr guarentee,but obviously need to get a filter to put the mature media in before it dies off.
 
I got up today to the same thing...my filter seems to have fired all its residue out and now my tank is more like mud...in the middle of a water change to try and get some clarity back but it seems to be an uphill battle i cant get on top of!
 
this stuff??

Hey what a shame but I give my hats off to you harlequins because you did the right thing in trying to find them a home, and not just leaving them in an tank with no filter running. :good: :good:
 
Thanks Ryan :)

They gave me £20 food credit for the juvi's has some were still smaller & younger,i miss them,but at least i don't have to worry about them suffering with a faulty filter :)
 
That must have been a tough thing to do, my condolences.

Here's to hoping they breed again soon, when everything is working properly.
 
Thanks FF :)

I miss the growing juvi's , but i still have near on 100 fry in the other tank atm to keep me busy :rolleyes: :lol:
