I had almost my entire 55g emptied out recently--I dont know what happened but everyone started getting sick (I think it was some tubercular blue rams from my LFS) and they all croaked except one angel, one rainbow shark, and one gourami. So I treated it with API tetracycline and then my tank turned crimson red and a bunch of foamy scum coagulated at the surface of the water. Now its just one gold gourami and a few of the plants left (some plants are still getting eaten away it seems; cant tell if its an infection or my booming snail population). Worst aquarium experience ever:
R.I.P:
"Unagi" -baby fire eel
"Boullion" and "Nugget" -breeding pair of gold rams
"Gabriel" and "Michael" -breeding pair of Angels
"Schnarf" - 6.5" rainbow shark
unnamed -2x ******* blue rams
"calcite" and "calcium carbonate" -baby marble angels
Whyyy???
