Cloudy

dunno about your water but a word about your new goby.. Ive had mine for three months and he was great.. full of life and made and shared a little cubby home with my firegoby.. i realized yesterday i hadnt seen him all day.. turns out he jumped through a 2 inch gap through my glass lid and flew about two feet away.. i found him all dried up and was heartbroken.. trust me, if you dont have a lid on your tank, your goby will go carpet surfing, its only a matter of time..

 

Awwww sorry for your loss!! I would be heartbroken too! I had a Blue Damsel that committed suicide one time..
+2

 

thank you cuttingras.. it was really weird how it affected me.. i was really sad all day thinking about how friendly and funny he was.. peeking from within his little cave and jutting about eatin up all the sand, and lookin around..


well, anyway.. sorry for hijacking the thread.. back to cloudy water

 

PH means nothing and to have it at 7.9 or 7.8 in the early A.M is perfectly normal Put the PH test kit away and leave it be for a few days and allow it to settle down.. If you cleaned the filter and it got cloudy its a bacterial bloom. But for get about P.H test the alk or DKH all the same thing just different way to test. Adding buffer will keep them cloudy also..

 

yeah I lost my goby about a week ago after noticing he was awol for a while he ended up on the carpet in back of my tank all dried up I felt bad myself
