Things are just going badder to worstest at the moment! Not only did I have the problem with the ciliates (among other things - see problem in previous postings), but then I had an attack of velvet, fortunately I got it reasonably early and only lost one fish (a fem. guppy - nothing to worry about). And then this weekend we not only had one of the coldest w/es of the year but a storm came with it and left me without power for 24 hrs. I managed to keep everything alive but lost almost all my fry as they were preyed on by other fish in their respective tanks. I lost Cacatus, Aggies, Steindachneri. The only ones that survived were Rupununi 'cos they were in a tank on their own. I wish my new tanks would arrive...
