I have a list of clubs at http://www.fishlinkcentral.com/clubs/ FAAS' booklet is an excellent starting point. Their booklets have not be updated since 1992 or so.

I put them in a 55 gallon planted tank with some congo tetras and a young pair of N. Transvestitus. My Ph has always been a tad too high for my liking (7.4) but they were breed in 7.0 water. My water in this tank was made up of RO water and RO right (Kents) I added the minimum amount of ro right to keep the gh aroun 1-2 dkh. On my last water change (20-25% weekly) I added an extra teaspoon of ro right thinking (stupidly!) that my hardness was too low. Well that was 2 days ago and all but 1 of the Wouri are dead. They all started breathing haevily with clamped fins after the water change. RO water was stored in a green rubbermaid container for 1 night where the temp was adjusted. My Nannochromis appear to be o.k. Any ideas on what happened? My thinking is that the hardness went too high. Right now the gh is 4 and the alk is 4.5. Also when i went to search for dead fish and removed some driftwood their was a slight sulfur smell. please help me figure out what happened so that I don't kill these beautiful fish or any others -- Andy - ------- End of Forwarded Messages
