Not too sure. I've seen her the most I e ever seen her this last week then just found her today like that. Must been dead for a day or two. She was pretty decomposed. Maybe that's where the poly got his problem from... I'm just surprised he cleared up in a day... from just salt. Maybe I bit off more than I could chew with this fish crap. Should stick to guppies but I managed to kill them too from the bloodorms the poly didn't eat. Then there's the guy at work who does nothing but add water and his tank looks awesome...:mad:
 
Got the ro system to lower dGH or w.e. my tap was always screaming high. I'm gonna start using ro n tap mixed I guess.

I was concerned the tank water was the problem, perhaps I'll just put him back in the tank then. Idk wtf is going on. He does look better today..

I meant use tank water in the bowl while cleaning the other tank then net him to put him back in the tank

polys can take a lot don't give up on them. Also once you get everything dialed in it will get easier

I had 2 ropefish I ordered get stuck in the mail for 4 days and then the idiot mailman just left the box on the porch without ringing the doorbell in 104 degree weather I found it 2 hours later and they survived along with the lungfish I ordered
