[GSAS-Member] Thick Water

[Shango Los <shango@shangolos.com>]

Hi all,

I did a serious clean one of my community tanks last night.  During that
cleaning, the water churned A LOT.  It became thick with sludge (what is the
word for it? Moosh? Melsh?)  Unfortunately, the White Clouds and Guppies
began to have difficulty breathing I realized.  Today, I see that I lost 3
fish overnight and one more is heavy breathing .  I had no idea that the
thick water could be THAT bad for the fish.

Has this ever happened to anyone else?  Where should one draw the line with
churning the water?  How can one avoid this?  Is this worse with small fish?

Anything folks have to offer I¹d like to hear.  I don't want to cause this
suffering again. 

Thanks

Shango
