Habitat - Indoor :: new tank syndrome

Yeah i've never had a bloom this bad ever. no the turtle tank is doing good, it's the fish tank doing this.

Does it continue to get worse after you do a change? What kind of filter media does it have?

i just did a full water change. i don't know what happened, didn't condition the water enough? in less than 10 minutes both my minnows, my tetra, and my pleco went down. i have a nice little pet cemetery in my backyard now

the guppy and the ghost shrimp are both doing fine.

How much of a temp change was it for them, when you put them back into the tank? Did you test the water before placing them back into the tank?

I hope you get it sorted out, I used to keep fish, but I just got tired of the upkeep on the small, over-crowded, 30 gal. tank, so I got some turtles!!!

Good luck!!

Sorry to hear that! Even in chlorinated water that too fast.

Did you let the water stand overnight?
