MrsFard Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Sounds like bloat and bad water mixed to me....more water changes. As for the bloat you're most likely SOL, its hard to bite that one, before it bites you. What's the filtration like? What do your plants look like? Need a little bit more info here. my filter is an aquaclear for a 20-40G.... my plants look pretty good...there is a link to pics of my tank (beofer I re-scaped it a few days ago), on my profile, um.... I check nitrates/ammonia and ph...they aren't abnormal... When did you last test it? After/before you tested your water? And you didn't mention that you tested for Nitrites, you tested Nitrates. Many possibilities... yesturday.... i checked it a couple times, and yes, i did test for nitrites..sorry 'bout that... and as far as I'm concerned... there are TOO many possibilities...GRRRR! why can't it just be 'black and white'!? i was kinda hoping it was...

If you can pinpoint many similarities in your diagnosis, you're probably going to get as close as you can. Unless the symptoms are blatant, many diseases overlap with symptoms, very similar to the human body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
