Introducing my "TRUE" WC Amphilophus LABIATUS

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
No... The Female was in a seperate tank, which had a problem with green algae so I treated the water with Interpet Greenaway. It got rid of the green water but unfortunately it killed most of the fish in my tank including that female Labiatus. I sent water samples and everything to Interpet to find out what happen. They said the water quality was compromised or made worse by the Algae treatment... i.e there was a low level of ammonia in the water (0.25) which was render less harmful by the low pH level of 6.8... but when the treatment was added the pH lifted to 8.9 and the ammonia level when up with it to 4.5.... This killed my Labiatus female along with some Neets. I wasn't happy and the compensated me for my lost.

This is exactly why I never recommend using any of these chemicals. More damage then its worth. Sorry for The loss. Green slime algae is normally a indicator of other conditions as its an opportunistic cyanobacteria

Thanks... it was actually the cloudy green water... you couldn't see anything in it. The tank was in direct sunlight aswell.
 
So not actual green algae but free floating algae. Light is definitely the big issue there as well as dome other potential. Did you fix the light issue?

No it just subsided and stopped going green after a little while.
 
Heres an update on my male A Labiatus... put on some size and weight and is turning into quite a specimen.
