What is this?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
A bit overstocked? You mention nitrate, but not ammonia or nitrite. I have a feeling there are big problems here, especially since the addition of yet more fish. Definitely run tests on all parameters. You've got, at minimum, 20 inches of fish in this tank. I'd be testing for all params. every day. If something goes wrong, no matter how small it is, the domino effect could happen very quickly. You could lose the whole tank with very little warning. Illnesses like you're seeing are usually indicative of poor water quality, and they are the first signs that things are going awry. Just be really careful -- this is definitely dangerous territory!
 
The reason I only mentioned nitrate is because it is the only thing that isn't normal on my water params.
And this is only temporary like I said...plus the angels are out and you can hardly count for the farlowella, it is a stick :P
 
I don't think this tank is overstocked.
The angels are gone (so are my plants and drift wood I was cleaning them)
All the fish I mentioned ARE in there.
sorry for the craptastic webcam pics.
