you should often see some used Mag7 ( 700 gph) pump on craigslist for $30-40

Stories like this terrify me. It is almost certainly something that the City did with the water.

I have thought for a while about putting water into a large tub first with the dechlorinator and letting it sit for a while before adding it back to the tank. Is there a relatively inexpensive submersible pump which would move the water from the bucket on the floor to a tank above? The top of my tank is about 5' above the floor.

This is a classic case of where you should make sure you have done your RESEARCH on these fish before buying them. Tropheus have become way too popular lately and I hate seeing mistakes happen to these fish that could be avoided. Dont take this too harsh because I am guilty as well. When I first started Ek told me straight up that these fish needed to be researched over and over again before keeping them successfully. Go back and read more articles...read past threads here on the 'Box...check the dates to make sure topics are current.

Alright thanks, I'm going to watch them die now

Fish are fish, give them the best care you can. They didn't ask to be in your tank.

You should not think your origanal group is out if trouble yet. Keep a close eye on them when they feed. If some fish do not eat you got problems. Get the metro and epson salt tomorrow it's a 911 type thing for you. Keep us posted. Good luck.

i got another problem, maybe you guys can help. I got about 40 frys mix trophs i overfeed them about 2 week ago. about 15 died at first when i relized they were overfeed so i stop feeding them for 3 days to get everybody back on a flat stomach. But slowly theyre kept dying day by day now only got about 8 frys left. i cant stop the bleeding theyre keep on dying i found 1 died today as well

Sorry to hear this....but I wish you would have told us earlier . I think your fry probally have Bloat and treatment should have been started two weeks ago . At this time I would go ahead and give Clout a try . Keep in mind that all feed should stop . There should be a sticky posted on the Troph and Petro forum .
