EFU Canister filter killed all my fish

[Nickintex]

And where would one obtain these scuds, MB? I'm liking the sound of this....:)

Plants collected from Lake Houston or Lake Conroe are just crawling with them. Or you can order some here:

Any updates on this Jenny? Did you test the tank for stray voltage?

John,
No preliminary results have been posted on the necropsy.
I didn't test the tank for stray voltage. I know you and I talked about it, but I can't afford to buy a "volt-o-meter"(unless they're cheap- like under 30 dallahz) nor hire somone to come out and do it. The necropsy cost a pretty penny!
I will be looking for the report on Monday.
Jenney.

You can get one for about $20.00 at a auto parts store. But one of you neighbors or friends should have one. Someone on here will tell you how to use it. Good luck.

I am currently growing daphnia to feed my bettas and daphnia are extreemly sensitive to water quality.

The last time I was at fish gallery they had live daphnia.

They are sensitive, but I've found that without green water, they don't survive long - no matter how great your water is. At least that's what I've experienced. I know there is an art to keeping daphnia. :)

And sorry, Traci, I just saw your post! I am currently low on scuds, but might be able to find some for you in one of my tanks, if you want. And Nick is right - they're all over our local waterways, but I usually wait and don't pu
t them in tanks with fish until they're quarantined for a few weeks. Because you just never know...

This site tells you how to use the volt meter.

Actually, I raise mine on activated yeast and/or Spirulina Powder. (brineshrimpdirect)

this one is less than the cost of shipping

That's cheap! I'm sure there's a harbour freight in Atlanta.

Sorry for your loss. Sounds like it's time to lawer up. Find one that will do everything (ie. Pay for all testing) up front then sue the manufacture for all loss and expenses.

Did you get your report yesterday?

So what's the verdict

[Glass Onion]

Hello All,
I recieved the results of the necropsy.
They were unable to find a diagonosis because of the decomposition (autolysis) of the fish.
It really sucks that it came out like that.
I will be getting more trophs for that tank, to be sure.
I feel really dispappointed right now after all the anger and it ends as inconclusive.
But I want to thank you guys for your support, ideas and brainstorming. It would've been alot harder without you guys.
All the best,
Jenney.
