:sad:this morning i awoke to my normal happy horses getting fat and looking better then ever in their crystal clear tank. came up 2 hours later added nothing and the water was green did some waterchanges and it helped but i guess not enough i came home to a dead male and a dieing female its now 2:00 in the morning and im breaking down their tank to get all the rock out for my new fuge its really sad i LOVED the little guys(bonnie and clyde) they even were starting to recognize me as the food giver and going crazy when i woke up idk if ill get any more probably not i just wish i knew what couldve drove the tank crazy filters were clear no weird inverts only macroalgaes and hadnt done my waterchange yet this week so nothing has been added sorry for the long post just for good measure bonnie on the left and clyde on the right

how many water changes did you do?
 
water changed

i ended up doing 5 over the period of 6 hours 1 gallon each dechlorinated and added via drip line i think maybe the water was just to much stress on the little guys and they arent that hard to keep and amazing creatures
they are so much personality im gonna miss em
 
Sorry to hear it. It looks like some species of Caulerpa you have in there....could it have gone sexual?
 
yes

i had calurpra or however a small amount of chaeto and feather macro algaes im seriously thinking they reproduced and thats how my water RAPIDLY turned from clear to green and i think the stress of all this might have been a little too much
