pjmowens Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 go buy a water test kit and test for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels. without testing i would suspect that you are experiecing an ammonia spike. minimise or stop feeding in the tank, and do a water change with aged water. i would change maybe 40l if its a std 3ft.we will also need to know how long has the tank been setup, any changes in stocking or decoration etc if we are going to be able to help you. also add an air stone if you have one. what type of filtration do you have. when you cleaned them out did you rinse with aquarium water or tap water. tap water could have done further damage to bacteria in the filter media.
