I couldnt believe it my favorite fish gone after 4 yrs im in so much lost with out it and now after gettting some more water ready for a change i cant find the baby clown .. :sad: :sad:
mike

have to go look for it and do a major water change will keep ya informed.

well its a done deal i lost the baby clown fish :frown:


mike

Cr*p, Michael :eek: Throw in some new carbon to soak up any toxins the cucumber might have expelled, along with a few large water changes. Change the carbon in a day or two so it doesn't leach back anything it soaked up.

i dont have any carbon i missed the fish store just closed. I think i will be ok i caught the cucumber just in time the fish are swimming around more and eating too lots and the clamm is doing ok too.


mike

That reminds me to get more carbon in case of emergencies :eek:

Glad to hear the other fish are doing better :biggrin:

Sorry to hear that Mike.
Lets hope everything else survives the ordeal!! :frown:

going now to do a change 10 gal will let ya know in a bit .

later

mike

p.s keep the finger s crossed :sad:

hope it all gets better.

What do you think was the cause of the deaths? Was it because the cucumber died and released the toxins from a powerhead mishap? Glad evrything didn't crash but a 4yr old fish is a heck of a loss, sorry.

Cucumber horror stories are unfortunately not that rare. Hope your tank recovers. One big reason why I personally stay away from cucumbers.
