Aloha Everyone,I have a problem and I know someone can give me a sugesstion on this subject. Lastnight before leaving for work, I did 50%w/c and left for work. Eight hrs later I came home and found two 4 incd b/d that appeared to be dead. They were lying on bottom of tank. After seeing this I went to get dip net to remove them, to my surprise when i came back they were swimming fine but breathing rapidly. I started to think I was seeing things.
I then started my daily water changes and again I was surprised when I got a splash. I turned to look and the two b/d were just ramming themselves into the sides of the tank and everything else that is in the tank. Then they went for the tank lid and K Oed themselves. Has anyone ever seen this happen? I talked to the wife and she told me that this happens everytime I go to work. May be I should just stay home ;D and be mister mom, nah I need a life I guess.
Anyways does anyone have an idea or solution? Ph is 6.0 to 6.5, water is out of R/O D/I unit, hardness? w/c everyday in growout tanks 50% each time and have seven 4.5 to 5 inch discus in 75 gallon tank only b/ds are doing this routinely says my wife.
Mahalo in advance for help, Ike & Anne ;D ??? ;D
