  1. Hopefully that's all it is
  2. I didn't add any new rocks, driftwood or anything else in over a year in that tank so that shouldn't be the issue. The way I clean my filters is I clean one under tap water (easier to clean) and then will clean the other filter 2 weeks later to leave time for bacteria's to reseed the filter and then I rotate like this. I have 1 fluval 405 and 1 fluval 406 + 2 powerheads. For the fish discoloration it is possible indeed that it is from stress or submissiveness. I have been having some aggression issues which is why i'm trying to get to 45-50 fish. When these fish were in my 55 gallons it was problem free. Now that they are in the 135 that's when aggression started.
  3. I've had some of the new ones die but it's 90% my old mbunas that are affected, some of these fish are probably close to 10 years old. Before they die usually not a lot of symptoms, the one I took a picture of I was lucky enough to see him before he died, most of the other ones were fine the day before and I found them dead in the morning. No loss of appetite and the only physical things I could find (in the case of mbunas) is what I took in the picture, that sort of discoloration on their skin.
  4. I don't know this is sort of what i'm asking i'm quite worried as I started to add more fish (the issues started with fish i've had for over 2 years) and i'm hoping to double them from around 20 to 45-50 and want to make sure I won't loose 50 fish...
  5. Hi everyone, Lately i've been having issues with some of my mbunas dying one after the other, about 1 per month and I can't figure out why. Water parameters are good and fish behave good. Any idea why? I've attached a picture of the last dead one and just before he died. Thanks
  6. I think i'm at 28 fish now as well but mine is a 135 gallons and since I got the 2 powerheads it's a lot less messy.
  7. Anyone have an idea before I loose another fish?
  8. I also though it was over feeding or under feeding but she carefully looked at how much I was feeding them and I looked at her feeding them and she gives the same amount. The water change schedule is basically I do one the last day i'm home and one the first day i'm home so that's one every 2 weeks but I do 30% change. But yeah weird it's only this tank, in my 55 have has no fish death in the whole 2 years i've had it, my angel fish are doing great they lay eggs every 2 weeks if only they would stop eating them... I have no space to put the eggs as my 25 gallon has 30 red shoulder peacocks now. Also the water must not be that bad if they are breading...
  9. Hi everyone, So i'm having some issues... 6 months ago I went from a regular shift schedule to working in the field 2 weeks on 2 weeks off and with that came a fish problem... Every 2 weeks i'm no, usually 4-5 days in my shift my girlfriend tells me a fish died, every shift it's the same story, and when i'm there everything is fine, no fish die and they all seem fine,I even got about 30 babies from my couple of red shoulder peacocks, my babies are in a 25 gallon and are still doing fine, then I leave and again 4-5 days in 1 fish dies, I think it's the 5th one now. Water seems fine, ammonia is at 0, nitrite and nitrates are 0 as well, it's a 135 gallon fish thank and my angels fish and roseline sharks in my 55 gallons are fine and never had any issues. Any ideas? This is getting frustrating and the girlfriend is starting to feel responsible for their death. So yeah the setup is a 135 gallons with 2 filters, 1xfluval 405 and 1x fluval 406, 2 power heads and a big air pump with 2 bubble curtains.
  10. I've never really had an algae problem but only this annoying slimy bacteria. For CO2 I was aware it would need to be in the equation eventually but I have very few plants at the moment so didn't believe it was required for only a few.
  11. Thanks for your replies! No I don't inject CO2 and I only use liquid fertilizer
  12. Hi everyone, I need your help to get rid of a very annoying outbreak of Cyanobacteria in my planted tank. It's filled with that nasty green stuff in my sand, on my plants and on some glass surfaces. I've tried to vaccuum out everything I could but it just keeps coming back. Do you have any tricks to get rid of it?
  13. I since completely change tha tank I got a 135 gallon I'll post a picture later
  14. The only heater so far I have been very satisfied, especially by the fact they can stay on 24/7 if required without shutting off are the eheim
  15. just an update I ended up giving up and I bought a 2 months old fluval 406
