Yeast in tank :,(

[justintoxicated]

I had something similar happen when I knocked a bottle over, only it is alcaholic yeast mix inthe tank.

I lost one of my Oto's but the dwarf puffers were ok.

16% is the absolute highest that naturally fermented alcohol can reach

Maybe they got a good buzz :dance:

I had a small school of cories, two dwarf gouramis, and a weather (dojo?) loach in there, and they didn't seem to care. The DG's in particular seemed to like to eat the slime, as a matter of fact.:silly:

This is what I was trying to quote^^^

Otos can croak when it rains outside. I wouldn't assume the yeast was the cause.

I made a second bottle that acts as a gas seperator, so the co2 passes through fresh water before entering the tank, and have eliminated any yeast that I was seeing in the tank.

I had this happen twice in different tanks. I did the same thing and added a smaller bottle (gas seperator) now if the yeast gets over active it spills into the seperator

I used to have a DIY co2 system and shook up the bottle a little too much. I turn around and the water is super cloudy. After a few consecutive water changes, I found all my angels dead.
