It will probably need the filter cleaned out. fish faeces can build up and produce ammonia, which is toxic to fish.

So just be careful next time, and keep your tank clean.

thats all i can think of.

I did. They were the first things in the tank like Emma says though.

Was away for a few days after getting them so dad threw them out. So dunno if they'll refund me? Hope they do or they'll be 1 employee down.

Marina - i've lost a leopard ctemopoma but it's one of the ones I've bought.
My reedfish looks like it has whitespot, and one of the ABF has whitespot and finrot.

They so don't, I'm so low down that they step on me and don't even realise.

JESUS! This is not going away.

First it was finrot so i treated for that.
That went away and then I noticed whitespot.
So I'm treating for that, turned the temp up, and its not going, at all.

2 reedfish and 4 leopard ctenopoma have died.


I'm going into work and DEMANDING them to give me some store credit for when it's cleared up.

I'm going to say something to you that's been said to me by every person I've ever loved: I'm really disappointed in you, you are pathetic and weak, and I don't love you anymore. Get out!
