2) almost as worthless as having PetCo test your water
The fact that the water was cloudy, and then 4 fish died, and then you state that your water params were still o.k. when you tested it after all that happened, I'm sorry but I can't believe that, it just doesn't add up.yourbestfriend;1967806; said:when i first noticed the cloudy water, the first thing i checked was that all my fish were alive. and i have an amonia and ph meter in my tank and that was fine also. and before i took all the water out i did a full tank test and everything was fine
