anyone else had this type of experience before ?
i had removed 30% of water from a rack of 9 and was refilling from my reservoir going from tank to tank with top up hose....
missus gave me dinner while i was doing this.... home made fries and steak pie... i was eating fries while moving hose from tank to tank....
i dont think i put my greasy hand in a tank but maybe i did....
topped up all good...
3 days later i woke up to all baby marble b/n dead in a frysaver and all albino b/n fry also dead in a frysaver next to each other in 1 tank... water was ever so slightly hazy.. .so i tested for ammonia , nitrite , nitrates after i removed dead fry from frysavers... i got 0 , 0 , 30ppm..... scratchin my head - what caused this die off? looking at water surface and im thinking i could see a tiny oil haze around the bubbles from the filter... i did 50% wc straight up and 4 hours later did another 50% wc... the L066 colony wasnt happy puffing and fanning and looking at me prob thinking WTF have you done
next day 1 dead old 66 female... no marks on her - gills looked fine... scratching my head - water has tiny haze to it again.... so another 50% wc..
whole time the ninja shrimp in the tank havent seemed to be worried at all and no noticable deaths in the shrimp.... another 50% wc a little while ago and tank looked clear... hour later it is hazed up a bit... tested the water for ammonia nitrite nitrates and got 0 , 0 , 5ppm... the othe 7 x 66's in the colony dont look overly happy but arent puffing any more....
any ideas other than me putting greasy hand in the tank ????
