So today I was at work just getting done working on a project from a Joe Biden rally only to get beat up on a project someone else messed up and leave for me to catch the blame. I get a phone call from m roommate asking why my fish is on the floor. My oscar knocked the lid open and jumped out of the tank on to the floor. Not only did she hit the floor she landed on the surge protector. But she hit the switch and turned it off. I know that sounds wild but it is the only explaintion we can come up with. So we got her back into the tank andshe is covered up and weighted down.I added salt and a dose of melfix. Not only did this happen but I forgot my ID and got denied beer at Fridays but not to soon after we got back from that we noticed my pleco in my 55gallon was acting weird. At first I thought my JDs were messing with the fish but when I went to the tank it flipped out and laid flat on his back. I grabed him by his tail and put him in a clean bucket. He did not move other then a singal twich. I have air and meds going for him but I do believe he is gone. I am in no condition to mess with my fish. I have roles about that. Any input would be great I am still in shock. Thanx guys.
I did some test on the water and found that my Nitrate spiked @80ppm. I am thinking this was caused by the filter I swapped out. Other test results are;
