Nearly killed my fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
20 whitebait? Haha, jesus, that's a lot even for a big dat.

I have tried similar things such as dropping at either end, but haven't had much luck. In order for the bottom dwellers to get a share I need to just drops loads in all at once, so I probably overfeed a bit too. Before I had a jardini and snakeheads and pbass that would gobble everything super quick, and now just some greedy CA/SA cichlids.

well it usually eats around 15-20 whitebait at each feeding which i do every other day.
the aro did not eat much and the dat just took anything that was going i think it was the worms and the aros prawns that did it.
as for feeding at each end i usually have no problems its just one piece a time and is time consuming.
 
Damn....

20 whitebait is unreal.
 
dam.. nice save
 
It's good that you know the problem before it got really really bad.
High nitrate levels will kill oxygen supply, you may also put extra aeration to aid in their heavy breathing.
 
i am ok for aeration i have 2 1000lph powerheads moving water on the surface.
the fish have settled down totally now and are back to normal.
i basically changed 75% of the water in 2 days so will leave it for today before another 20% change tommorow.
i checked the water and has 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and around 40ppm nitrate so will start feeding again today too.
i think i was lucky
