Fish died and 2 more about to?!?!????

[aquabee]

18 hrs and no more dead fish. . Did the 2 water changes in 2 days... Added aquarium salt last night.... And prime (recommended dosage. Everything looks better for now. I'll see when I get home this evening

Awesome. Hopefully that was the last of it.

I fear it will not be.

Cypress isn't too far off from me and my water is still heavy in chloramines.

Isn't it like that everywhere around Houston?

I know HAW is having issues with that too. But around the med center area I haven't had any problems... yet. **knocking on wood**

[eklikewhoa]

From my past experience the med/midtown area comes later.

I had mad chloramine at the old apt.

[sunkenmetal]

They just switched us from chlorine to chlorimines

Just test your tap water before you do WC

Just test your tap water before you do WC

For? Ammonia?

[eklikewhoa]

si ma.

up your doses and add prior to filling back up, stock up on salt too. or you can just get a carbon bottle.

[sunkenmetal]

For? Ammonia?

yea

I test my tap water for ammonia before water change. If ammonia shows up I recharge my water softener overnight and do a water change the next day. I know you don't have a softener but you will how much crap is in your water and can treat as needed

One day I'll have a carbon bottle. For now, I always double dose Amquel Plus or Prime during a water change. And I always have salt and Stability on hand, 2 things I'll never be without.

[sunkenmetal]

I still add prime even if my tap water test shows no ammonia lol

I had one fish dead this morning. He was still breathing. But I could not take it. I hope he was the last one. Can I foam other water change? Or is that 2 many in a week?

Test your water if you still have ammonia and nitrates showing up change the water...
