Sorry I can't help...but others will!

Off topic, but HI Shae, where have you been?

Were you able to determine what the "white" was?

Yes, I do believe they didn't think they should be put in with other fish. But that's all I know there. First thing I did when I got to work today was ask our guy about the fish. Anyway, apparently the owner didn't want to do away with them & asked him to do it, but he refused so the owner did. How I don't know, but I can only guess If only I had known earlier I would have called the people and if the tank couldn't stay in their house I would have offered to take it temp or even had suggested what I asked here. Anyway...thanks for your input

Have you come up with a solution yet about feeding fishies while you're gone?

Sorry can't help...I've been trying my best not to have children...oops, I mean baby fishies

Thanks Wok, didn't know that either

Sorry about your goldfish Are you sure its dropsy?

I don't see how a new filter could change the pH of your water, unless its something different in your media, but I can't see that either...but those with more knowledge would be a better judge of that!

Sorry about your fishy losses But hang in there, the people here will guide you and with their help and your determination...you'll have a great hobby! OH SHOOT...sorry about the 3 postings, had trouble when submitting, it wasn't doing anything, then froze on me, but apparently still posted :oops: :oops:

The company I work for does fire/flood restoration. They were at a house the other day that had a fire. The people had an aquarium with, I think it was 6/7 fish. I guess they had friends who were willing to take them but the people (fish owners) called the pet store and said that wouldn't be a good idea, which I agree. They were going to destroy the fish. My friend who was at the house said there was lots of soot on the top of the water but the fish were all swimming around. My question is, did they have to destroy them? Could they have survived if: 1) if they took paper towel and removed what they could from the top of the water 2) cleaned the filter & replaced what media they could 3) did a 50% water change, followed by small changes for a number of days OR, would they have not survived anyway???? Just wondering what your thoughts are on this!

Here too, used to get it on the heater's suction cups, don't anymore!
