I dropped my water flosser in the tank....

My water flosser fell in the tank and look at this mess that was dislodged. Yuck....

Will they live?

 

Is that yellow from the flosser? I'd do an immediate large water change.

If you don't already have a lid for the tank, I'd get one.

 

OK. I'll change the water. That's sediment bacteria and detritus

 

Maybe you just invented a new tank cleaner? Alison

 

You shouldn't have that debris and detritus in there. You need to do more thorough and more frequent gravel vacs. This may be part of the issue with your sick clown loaches.

 

Well, I have fluorite under my top gravel so when the pump fell over, it forced water deep into the dirt and it suspended it from my gravel under a plant... But yeah, that is one thing I didn't clean when I did the cleanings. I forgot! Lol! Thank you!

BTW the loaches are doing much better though! But alias some of them are still struggling and now I am battling ICH.
