That was about all we could do, short of take out all the fish and replace the gravel, so we just waited. We were worried, but the fish were just fine.

Hopefully nothing will happen, but only time will tell. Goodluck. :88) http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
