I was the proud owner of 9 A class discus fish average size 6" (pics posted by me previously)
I dedicated so much time and effort to keeping for the last 2 years, nothing was spared on them.
for those who know these fish know they can be expensive and difficult to keep.
anyway, i recently changed my residence, so i had to relocate them to the new tank.
all was fine for the first two days, they even started to eat, however, sunday night i did a partial change to help reduce fish waste which can quickly build up in a new tank.
i did the change and everything seemed fine.
within 10 minuites dey began darting around the tank, 5 minuites later dey began to sink to the substrate.
the water it seemed was contaminated, or they got what the call ph shock.
i went out and bought bottled water, changed out as much as i could but nothing.
today only one looks like he may make it, in total its about 6k in stock lost.
those who know me, know i am passionate about my fish, i am still hurt by this.
so this is just a wake up call to test any new water u may have to introduce to your fish, this is a difficult thing to watch your fish die knowing you cannot help them.

Just an update , the plants have begun dying very small and mainly bulbs, I got some from JM and trying to throttle back on the water filtration, as discussed RORO , i know that i don't have a true canister filter , but it seem to work for me in fact too good based on the rate of the water hyacinth deaths, but i have used a nozzle to decrease the flow and would be monitoring the plants

Link I took off the water filter for about that same period , but what i found is that when i turn it back on , i don't want that initial 2 mins of water going back into the tank, the bacteria is contained in the "canister" and this initial water smells terrible as in full of ammonia and solid waste

Its a clear plastic vessel about four - five inches high , with a red yellow and orange label.
1 drop to each gallon or 1/4 teaspoon to 20 gallons , when i had the azoo or another brand in my hand he handed me this
