Disaster struck my tank!

Also, are you the only other person in the house?
If not someone might have used your water bucket for some thing else that you didn't know about.

If you can catch my damsels without wrecking my display you're welcome to the little buggers. (free)

I dont think its the puffer. The puffer looked great even when dead. No slime or anything. I dont think this puffer release any toxin. Only when eating the puffer they become dangerous, as far as I know. Something about the toxin in the glands of fugu puffers.

As for the water change...I have been doing 33 percent for well over a year with no ill effects.

I think my arm might have been contaminated. I washed my hand and forearm below the elbow really well prior to changing the water but I had to reach in the tank and water was more than elbow deep. It might have been something on my skin ie. lotion, etc.

All I know is the two clowns are back to normal eating NLS again.

SNAPPY: I live in Red Deer. I will pm you when i head over your way and attempt to fish for damsels..>LOL.
