Default Water Change Fish Loss?
Don't vacume your substrate.

I`m really bummed.

I think I might have unknowingly siphoned a Scooter Blenny out of my tank
during a water change, is this possible?

The other possibility is that I might have disrupted the DSB a bit when
cleaning out some Macro Algae. Could this release ammonia into the tank
bottom where the Blenny inhabits?

I havent seen a body yet............
How do you do your water change?
Where do you collect the dirty water?
I collect dirty water to a Instant Ocean salt bucket
and always inspect the water to put back to the tank
some snails or micro-hermit crabs back to the tank...


Interesting. I use a pump with a cover over the intake to change water. I
guess that keeps me ftrom sucking up my pets too. But it doesn't help when I
vacuum.

Anyone else do this?
