Jaxxnz Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Dear Fish lord, Last nite my silver dollars tank water nitrate when to the roof, killing 8 adult silver dollars.. Hmmm..I got home they were floating gasping.. There were 7 still remain alive,. I did a autopsy, all female dollars had a great number of eggs.. Then I start to scale the dollars and fillet them.. After that slice fillet into thin strip.. And place them in a clean plastic bag and ready to use.. xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 You'll have to let us know what they taste like. Nitrates don't shoot through the roof overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henward Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 this si a weird post. are you gonna eat teh dead fish? i have nothing against fish eating - but the pellets you feed your fish will make the meat disgusting. I dont suggest you do that. besides, what a waste of tiem, you wont get much meat from a silver dollar! you shoudl get into pacus! they have substatial meat. but, main thing is, DID YOU ACTUALLY MEASURE YOUR WATER? your fish will nto die wtih even very high nitrate for a day....they also wont gasp for air. thats ammonia.... you probably had amonia. so if this post is serious, i guess you have to ask 1)what filter are you using 2) litres of tank - number of fish 3) feeding regime but in saying that, your post .... sounds like a joke.
