I had same thing happened before, I guess its called ammonia poisoned. did u add any Photosynthetic Bacteria (PSB) ?>
Sorry for your loss brother.
Thank you for sharing and informing the rest of us on what can go wrong and how to prevent it.
I am so sorry that you have lost your beautiful plecos. I know how much it hurts, and feeling awful because of something I missed.
Thank you so much! it really does suck!!!
So sorry you lost your pieces. BUT thankfully no others fish were affected. Beautiful angels in your tanks.
I lost my pleco a couple of days ago, he was eating well, but started swimming oddly then sinking down. Immediately checked water, all parameters were fine. From first sign to death was 2 hours. RIP Steve😢
Bummer, sorry to see/hear this. Did the dead fish also spike your ammonia?
I had a case of warm water vibrio (not ph but still a bummer.) kill 7
adult L183s.
They got it from ramshorn snails in the belly of one... then in less than 16 hours. It's one nasty flesh eating bacteria that's showing up in warm water more and more (according to the local university that tested mine).
Thats interesting, i added MTS to 2 out of 3 tanks and all fish died in both tanks but oddly the shrimp survived. I added the mts around 9pm and when i woke at 530, they were dead.
Sorry I was commenting as I watched. I use some crushed coral in my tanks and it keeps the ph pretty stable.
Sorry for your loss :( that sucks
thanks Leo!!! it sucks to lose fish!
@@AquaMalik yeah I bet :(
Sorry for your loss but did I miss something? What caused the PH crash?
Saw it on Facebook malik been there and it’s horrible , sorry to hear that .
Sorry to hear that....and, just had a similar experience with my queen arabesques and my L333...port du moz.
What causes a PH crash?
Mannnn, so sorry brother. Stay strong, it's never easy
Sorry to hear that bro.....
Its a big amount of fish with only a sponge filter?
Excellent post Malik, very true 👍
I hate to hear this. Losing a breeding group would be devastating. As you know, many fish are sensitive to water parameters, and maintaining their necessary parameters is a part of good husbandry. As a general rule of thumb, fish that have been in our care a period of time and die, it’s due to our mistake. Conversely, when new fish die, it’s generally an issue with the fish. Amazing how many post pics of new dead fish and look for something they did that caused it. Keep the faith brother 👍🏼
Is it possible to buy a sick fish and not know it and possibly it dies a few months down the road . Would that be considered our fault?
@@rae_ray8944 definitely. But hopefully we would see symptoms long before. Some late stage symptoms, usually parasitic gut or systemic viral, can make it difficult. I worm all my fish, if they weren’t done so by the seller. I worm twice a year like we do other live pets; dogs, cats, etc. Great question!
@@CaylorsReptilesAquatics Thank You so much for Your time. I'm new to this and trying to learn as much as possible
@@CaylorsReptilesAquatics Your reply was anm eye opener
thanks Bob !! very true indeed!! this was totally my fault and thats why it sucks so much!!!
So sorry this happened.
There's a big difference between accepting reality and self flagellation: the latter is hardly realistic at all. Not everything that happens was ever under your control. That is the arrogance of self blame, centering yourself in the middle of the universe for everything at fault, even things well beyond your control.
I appreciate your knowledge and experience as a fish keeper, however. This lesson is invaluable, even if it is a tragic one. I would not have thought of PH crash being the cause of something like this.
Why do you put sand in the Ziss because i am thinking it is so the baby corys dont hurt their barbells. I suspect that is what happening to mine.
Damn brother sorry for your losses
thanks bro!!! I'm feeling shitty about it bro!!!
I'm so sorry 😞
Hey malik I’m having an issue with my plecos if you could help…I have some leopard frogs and l333s I treated them with two rounds of general cure because I was seeing white poop but now some are starting to get sunken eyes… some are still pooping white too but they all have chunky stomachs and are eating, any suggestions?
So sorry to here this. I have never heard of PH going that low. I am very new to this aquarium thing and hoping to learn much. Once again, sorry for what has happened, Peace
thanks Rae_Ray it happens from time to time.. unfortunately
I feel ur pain Malik! I had to learn the hard way also!ph and kh was 0! The immediate answer was bicarbonate soda! I learn that it takes 7grams of calcium to turn 1 gram of ammonia into nitrates! So if u over stock, or just feed to much, you can have a ph crash!
Try and set up a tank with undergravel filter. You will thank me. I will not set up a tank without it. Sponge filter is ok for breeding pairs but a colony of so many in your tank .....I am like wt....
Awhile back a friend woke up and found 15 of his large Discus all dead. I asked what did he do. He did a huge water change the day before. Sad day for him. Good luck and its good to see you share your mistakes.
Are phosphates the main reason for the pH crash? Or is it just build up of nutrients in the water column and substrate? How do you prevent the build up of phosphates? Are water changes not sufficient?
Bro we get it, it’s your fault. You must have said that 100 times! Pls tell me how you did it? And how we can fix it. I am having the same issues now. How can we fix this issue????
Malik what was the beggining ph and the ph after the crash?
Ohhh dearrrr my heart is 😔 sad for u
Bro my pleaco is very laxy or not move
So what I can do
Sorry you lost your fish bro. Prayers going up for you in Jesus Christ our Lord and saviors name
brother.
the Rams are ok through that crash ?
How big is the angelfish tank?
i am so msorry for you that you lost this wonderful fish D: ! Shit happens D;
Hey I’ve been dealing with aeromonas and fibrio for about a year. I thought I stabilized it but then it reappeared. It’s gram negative bacteria. I used furan 2 but not they don’t sell it anymore. And also PP in the tank a few times. Any advice?
Algae so added a couple Bristlenose
Mine are still dying. I'm still trying to figure out what I did/doing wrong. :(
owe no!! might be something we are overlooking.. that sucks :(
@@AquaMalik I lost 3 more today, after losing 2-4 each day. I give up. I can't do this anymore and watch them die. I've already started giving away my empty aquariums and supplies. I'm down to my last pleco tank, and soon it will be empty. I wish you well with your pleco breeding.
So why did the ph crash to below 5??? What's your tap water ph? I was hoping to learn from this because Im not very experienced in fish keeping, particularly plecos. I have 11 small plecos of diff types in a 40gallon and im afraid this might happen to me
Sometimes plecos die from shipping
Maybe sand is an issue ?
Rip for your fish homie
Hate you had to experience this.
my fish died today
You ok man? That's not good for your profit.
I had same thing happened before, I guess its called ammonia poisoned.
Save you guys some time, PH levels fell to 5 none of the other fish showed signs but plecos died. Moral of the story check water levels often. IMO crushed coral will help make water stay in a more “stable” range.
This video was all over the place. Left after the first 5min of rambling. Edit so it's a cohesive story of what happened to your fish.
I wouldn't expect a video on this topic to be well structured and cohesive, he is speaking about losing most of his colony. He isnt making a tutorial video, he is sharing an experience with us so that we can learn from his mistake and hopefully not do the same.
What caused the crash?
I feel your pain. You know what you are doing you are a knowledgeable dedicated aquarist. You give one hundred percent in the care of your stock. However anything That is Mechanical chemical or biological has the potential to become ten minutes pregnant. Life will throw curveballs. We can only hope to correctly troubleshoot problems early enough to positively help the situation. One two or more tiny problems can very quickly snowball into a serious situation. We can only do our best and hopefully learn from the experiences. You inspire us all by simply and honestly keeping us all in the loop. You are one of the best of us. We all are enriched by the sharing of your journey In fish keeping. Any fish be it a $250+ pleco or a $1 endler is safer in your care. You and well I will do a water change sometime later if I get around to it! Is not in your makeup. You always give your absolute best.
Sponge filters are great til they aren't.... PERIOD! Ur better off partioning off a small section of ur tanks and using an internal style filtration with mechanical, biological and some chemical.....it's time consuming but very will worth it.
Your all about the money
I'm gonna share a secret with u big boss....I keep really big fish one that's basically zoological status and probably the biggest of his species in NA. U gotta check pH daily!!! Not once a week or something like that but DAILY! And if ur kits or reagents are old toss them and get new ones! That is what I do damn near every day for my fish. they are in a 1500 gal system with dual 55 gal overhead wet/dry towers with a boat load of bioballs and some lava rocks utilizing TRUE wet/dry style filtration that is gravity returned and I still run a pair of 4" air stones on an alita air pump. That should help with any pH lowering but I have several massive pieces of dw in there and it's on a drip system and we do have hard water locally, regardless I test daily at worst every two days Max!
your sadness is our sadness
thank you for sharing your experiences
