Hi bro....any update?

**Ifish** · 3rd Oct 2013, 15:22

Sorry bro J_shrimp, been busy at work, quarter end all chiong.
Unable to post anymore pics as exceeded my quota.
Started 2 more tanks.
First is a nano tank with inbuilt filter system, cycle the tank for 1 week, did a 50% water change and commando went in but died.
Remedy: Took out internal filter, throw away all filter medias, changed the sponge, replace with eheim bio filters. Waited out for 3 days with bacteria introduction. Water change 40%, refill with distilled water, commando alive, been close to 2 weeks I suppose.
Second tank is 10L tank, base of tank use Ada Bacter 100. Tetra 45 sponge filter used only. 3 days later, water change 20%. Commandos alive till now, almost 1 week.
Above 2 tanks are my colleague's tanks, so far they have started flooding with different shrimps, poison has started.

Hi Bennyc, I have no evidence who ate them , lol. Most likely are by the shrimps, I have the same shrimps and plants at home and the leafs are intact. Am puzzled too. Hmmm, haha. Banana plant bought from gc during lunch out.

Most likely the leaf could have rotted off and the shrimps helped to eat it up as part of their tank maintenance duties.

Great that you managed to spread some healthy poison!

What UrbanAquaria mentioned is most probably right, unless if you have other fauna in your tank.

Are you guys planning to go with CO2 in future? Seeing a lot of sponge filters..

Hi qngwn, yes, poison started.
CO2 is not "office" safe. Never get caught we are happy already, haha, won't test the water with CO2.
