"It has been some time since my last aquarium post. Sadly I have had a number of deaths amongst the older fish in the tank.
When you add additional fish to an aquarium this stresses the existing fish stock. This is a fact however good the filtration system you employ or how well established is the tank.
Now, I guess all you tank enthusiasts have just got out your cylinder filters and are comparing sizes and performance?
A top tip from your old pal Syd Carp - ' when you carry out the weekly partial water change clean out the hose from the aquarium to the cylinder filter inlet using a bottle brush. You will be astonished at the amount of plant debris and general crud that builds up in this pipe. By cleaning this pipe, water flow, filtration and oxygenation of the water is significantly improved which in turn reduces stress for the fish."👍
