Well I just did about a 75% water change again even though the parameters were within the acceptable range. As far as the mine to maxi cycle, i DID add the fish slowly, I was check reciepts and it *looks* like (since they sometimes give me freebies)
1 malawi,
1 week later 2 more malawi
2 weeks later 3 more
1 week later 2 more
1.5 weeks later last 3 malawi
there are also snails and a pleco but forget about him since he never shows himself.
Either way, the water parameters held steady till about 15 days ago and I had all 11 in there for a while before any problems. In fact I added all the new malawis slowly over a period from mid October to mid to late november, so thats over a month that everything was just fine, not sure what happened.
Anyway, after the water change i started a cycle of Maracyn 2 and maroxy since at least two fish appear to have some fungus on them. The fish are perkier since that last water change, hopefully this will save them. I could care less if they arent the healthies fish on the planet, but I can't just let them die, i simply cant do it...I have to try something! Now I have 10 in there, not 11 since I did loose one the other day, hopefully he will be the only casuality.
