Re: do fish "yawn"?

[sal <chas33@optonline.net>]

Hey Rik,
Last resort. ( I know that I'm going to get a lot of flack on this!). I
remove every fish (IF I CAN AFFORD IT, I KILL THEM ALL) and Clorox the tank
with all the rocks and gravel.
I know that it may sound heartless but most of us that have been in the
hobby long enough have had "KILLER TANKS"
In my many years in the hobby sometimes I had to do this.. it hurts,  but
it's the only way to eradicate the problem 100%.
good luck,
Sal
