i think we were talkling bout panaques and not pseudacanthicus

Hi

Things just happen. For some unknown reason sometimes what seems like a perfectly healthy, eating and agile cat will just go out into the open and die. My hats off to Shane to say something like that. At least, I know all of us are in good company. Thanks Shane!

Just as a side note here, how do you maintain a zero nitrate level?

If the fish will eat, you might try treating their food with garlic. It does seem to make a noticable difference in discus at least. I definitely agree with Shane about the water changes. There are many times I don't know what's ...

Hewely,
