cjsdowg 04/03/24 12:31:33 PM #12:	It was a bigger then normal change, I think they must have just been shocked. I typically add prime at the end of the change.

But since it was so large i might have waited too long. You're better off putting the new water in buckets and adding Prime before the change. Makes it easier to get the right dose. You're better off doing water changes little and often. 20-25% every week is better than 50% every two weeks. Mind you, turtles are really, really fucking dirty, so I don't know what would be best for you. Maybe you had nitrogen pockets in the substrate that you disturbed, but I doubt it. Far more likely is temp shock, and/or the water not being properly conditioned. --- 'Vinyl is the poor man's art collection'. <cite>ai123 posted [p:979710260] in All my fis...

cjsdowg 04/03/24 12:44:28 PM #21:	The only thing that seems off are my nitrites. I did not match the water, the new water comes from the hose outside. I did use prime I only change when I have to. Since the water has been fine up until a few days ago it has been running for a long time. I can't even recall the last change. Of course I would put new water tank got to low. It is cycled. They were just little Buenos Aires tetras, but they were so great.They would swim together like the Fish on Finding Nemo. --- If you say I am wrong, then prove that you are right. <cite>cjsdowg posted [p:979710272] in All my fis...

BlazinBlue88 04/03/24 1:08:30 PM #24:	Very common for temperature shock to kill fish.
