I'm using a propane torch to heat a piece of inconel welding rod that I inserted in my soldering gun. the gun itself wouldn't keep it hot enough prob not the best way but just making do with what I have
got a phone call while I was at work yesterday that somthing was wrong with my fish so I rushed home to find my rtc tsn and pbass all dead did massive water change to save my pacu and rtcxtsn hybrid they seem to be alright but I'm not I am extremely bummed out. don't know what happend. rip chum dozer, digger. and jim they will all be missed
Sorry to hear that man. I had some fish die lately and started a thread on it. The temperature dropped when my pacu destroyed the heaters. According to other members, the immunity of the fish dropped off and the already high nitrates got them. I've upgraded my test kit and gotten the water to begin improving. I imagine the situation may be similar in terms of temperature? I guess check everything and make sure that isn't the problem. I hope your remaining fish don't die. I've got a gourami and a tore up pacu that I'm trying to hang onto myself.
the only thing I can think of is one or more of my cats puked up the shrimp I fed them and spoiled the water though they have never done this before I believe it is possible. the heaters and pumps were all running temp was normal did a 50 percent water change the night before. the water when I got home was poor quality but wasn't sure if it was from the dead fish floating in it. but I think it makes more sense that the fish ruined the water and the elevated ammonia killed them but I not sure I have never lost a fish due to water quality and never had multiple fatalities all at once now I have to think of how to prevent a future occurance. I think 800 gal would have bought me some time. but who knows
Sorry to hear about the loss.
Before I got into this as a hobby yea it sucked losing a fish, but now it is almost devistating. Keeping SA/CA cichlids I have gotten used to the attention that they give me.
Keep up the good work,
Bear
