because they need to make sure that the water you get at the end of your tap doesn't have harmful bacteria in it.

the water can be disinfected as it leaves the treatment plant, but it has miles of pipeline to go through to get to you

thats where it can become contaminated.

how soon after you did the water change did the fish start acting lethargic?

if it was immediately, it wouldn't have been a minicycle (ammo/nitrite spike) but it could be if it was the next day..

i am not changing the filter just adding more;)...i will not get more tins now maybe later...i will get some rays to go in there and i will put my tsns in there...preping for my 10'x5'x3' tank...the width might bet larger but thats the basic footprint...i will have a good stocklist for that one...i am currently sorting that out in a thread in the stingray forum...i just got done installing my fx5 now...i didn't think that it would be the size of a 5gal bucket...now the tank is question has an emperor 400, a homemade 375gph filter and a fx5 for filtration putting me at like 1400gph...
 
That is absolutely crazy! i cant believe that. i agree with the others that the water changes were way too much though. i am even scared to be doing the 50% per week that is suggested with my planted 75. i have a redtail barracuda in there and they are way to picky to accept that kind of a water change. i do only 40% per week and that is still high. if there was some kind of chemical in your water, there is no way that the fish could have survived it with that much of a change.

i am amazed that it was that fast though. what were you using to change the water though! i used a bucket once that my fiance thought was just a bucket and put cleaning supplies in once. i have special buckets just for fish water only. she took that bucket and cleaned the floors with it, then i changed my water and walla, dead fish.

it must have been some kind of crazy contaminant. probably not in your water because you are still fine after drinking it. however it cant be just coincidental that it happened after a change in product.

i dont know man. that is just horrible and i would cry if that happened to me. my cudas are dope and if they die, i dont know what ill do.

i hope for everyone your sake and everyone else who is reading this, you figure it out. please post the reason if you get it figured out man.
