Really not happy looks like i have killed a ruby shark 9 neon tetras 4 black widowed tetras. All because i didnt clean the carbon insert before putting it in im guessing

Hoping my 3 bristlnose Dwarf gourami and Peppered corys survive.

hate when that happens

Sorry for your losses...

 

[swanseastilo]

Tell me about it really in a bad mood now. Was looking for someone to blame.

But only had my self to blame.

 

[minnnt]

Oh dear mate, really sorry for your losses!

 

[XeroTolerance]

What do you mean about cleaning the carbon? Do you mean that you forgot to run it under water? Thanks for your help. I have a carbon filter and I dont want the same thing to happen to me.

I had suggested to him in another post that this "may" be why the fish died, but I don't know if it's just misinformation. I was told that the fine carbon particles can remove O2 from the water if not rinsed properly before putting in filter. So, please don't take it as solid truth because I don't know for sure. Does anyone? I don't want to feed a myth here!

it won't be from not cleaning the carbon. If in doubt, do a massive water change. Sorry to hear about the loss.

 

[swanseastilo]

Yeah i just changed 50 percent water. Waited hour now changing another 50 percent.

 

[Delloy12]

That's horrible :'(

 

[swanseastilo]

I know im 99 percent sure it has something to do with the filter i put in. Gutted i had one of someone in here i used on my shrimp only tank then my mate give me a filter so i was running 2 in this tank.

Agree not from not washing i have not washed my last 2 pads and no deaths time to find the real cause

 

[XeroTolerance]

Hmm than I wonder what it could have been...

 

[swanseastilo]

The only changes was adding the second filter. I had left the filter in cupboard for a few days and added it today i didnt rinse it today thou. just put it straight in and run it.

Ow well my gourami just died
