Why is that funny?

Very amusing take on basic chemistry. Surprised if it needs explaining.

When i do a clean up and water change i change around 50% of the water. Ive never lost any fish yet doing this so why is it a bad thing to change that much water at once?

Theres a lot of Marine stuff there yes, plenty of tropical too though. It's a decent place just not really very well placed.

When I was in England the other week, I saw a big marine shop on a major road in the middle of nowhere and immediately thought of Melts ( sick isn't it?). Can't really remember where it was, could have been around Leicester but have a feeling it was on the road to Newarke or Lincoln as we headed off for a day to the east coast.

I think anyone of us would have thought the exact same FIF

I think there is a big one just off the A46. melts will tell you the name no doubt.

Once the three died off, I'm guessing the pond was in balance (correct amount of filter bacteria compared to the amount of fish).

I wouldnt have thought so its only got 4 ****ers in it.

 

[lazzer]

Youre adding to many in one go. 1 at a time.

Been a pond expert long Duzza :icon_roll:icon_lol:

Well I'm not being funny but you only have to google 'aqaurium' or 'pond' and the first piece of advice is to be very cautious adding fish and never generally more than one at a time as it takes 4 weeks for the bacteria to adjust.

 

[lazzer]

You are correct...... you are not being funny :icon_lol: I will take this advice on board when purchasing more fish. As the bastards that died cost me £60 :icon_roll

The price of Fish burial has gone up. I'd consider cremation in the future.

Grilled with a slice of lemon and a dob of tatare sauce :icon_wink

You are adding a lot of chlorine which will damage/upset your fish and filter, you are subjecting the fish to large temperature fluctuations, large pH, GH and KH fluctuations and you are removing a lot of free swimming beneficial bacteria.

All of which are stressers.

Can't you just add some Activia to get the bateria back up? You'd have some unblocked fish for sure :icon_wink
