I know where and how bacteria spike can occur , and the tank in question has two sources of filtration and water pump filter system and an air based system , i am now using the air based system in the day and both at night

Goldfish and Oscars are not compatible tank-mates Sir.

anyone breeding koi angels? or angels in general?

i have a spawn of koi angels (regular fin, moderate coverage on both parents), and a spawn from a gold super veil/ koi cross...been researching the genetics to see what ratio of phenotypes i'll get from the cross and if any mutations in the koi/koi spawn..

i'll post pics when the fry are free swimming and properly visible in a pic....

wicked genetic work they did, basically covered all varieties in some detail and how to go about breeding for the variety you want...not much on koi angels though..

Hello guys. I have to warn you about something. Recently WASA's water in central is very acidic! I learnt that the hard way. I changed a big portion of my son's aquarium water. By the next day, fishes started dropping. Now just about all have died. We ran chemical tests and the water was strongly acidic (in fish terms) - off the PH scale used for aquarium measurements! I thought the kit was bad or there was some mistake. But the other fish tanks were normal (7.0 or thereabouts). I tested water in the street tap and it was also acidic. I have several water tanks home with a nice valve system, pump etc. I fill up and use for home use from the 1st tank. I keep the other two as reserve and for fishes, I lock off the first and use from the second after a week or so, so you can forget about chlorine. I have been doing this for years. Years aback when I tested the tap water it was always 7.0 to 7.2 which was good, so I stopped testing, assuming it would be just about neutral. I am telling you guys so you will be careful and don't assume the water supply is neutral like I did. Use a cheap test kit and make sure.

WHAT WAS THE READING "PH"

chit8238 · Postby **chit8238** » March 27th, 2010, 10:22 pm

I don't have the test kit chart with me upstairs to check the lowest PH. I think about 6.0 or 6.2. If I have time tomorrow I will check it and post it here. But it was definitely acidic-slightly more acidic than the lowest colour on the chart.
