ya it kind of normal cause of abmornia rise and they die u can choose to fish them out or just leave it there in time they will be dissolve and help to do a prart of the cycle

Guys i experiencing some cloudy water what could be the problem?wierd tt my water quite cloudy...is it due to the high amount of die-offs?

how long since you added rocks?

test your ammonia.

it could also be bacteria bloom, high amounts of bacteria growing can cause cloudiness.

saves you having to put in a piece of market prawn.

You probably don't need to test for ammonia yet, its definitely there, let it cycle for 2 more weeks then test for Ammonia and Nitrites.

check your salinity too. could be salinity spike that killed them and your new water.

I caught a few and placed them in different salinity and they died respectively lowest first.

Too bad they were ugly so my gf didnt cry. Maybe my 6-line did but too bad i caught them first.
