HA shoot!
After I don't know how many years of running aquariums of all sorts, I stopped for a few years.
On a whim, I bought a 15 gallon cube, and started getting it going.
I dumped 6 neon tetras in to start the cycle, everything was cool for a few days.
I realized I had spaced on the heater and it's cold in here, so I added a small heater, and brought the temp up to 75.
All but 1 neon exploded. Also, I tested my tap pH and it's off the charts at 8.xx almost 9 YOWSERS
I guess it's time to pull out the RO machine... was hoping I could get away with tap, but I guess not.
Opinion on my mass fish funerals? Heated up too fast? OR neons are just weak any way and they died?
