Somewhat rhetorical I think.

I was cleaning the boys yesterday (pond refugees) and I noticed that their
Ammo-Alert was far from it's pale yellow. It was up in the danger zone, so
I tested with the Ammonia kit and it was reading around 400. YIKES. So I
did a water change and added all the Ammo-Lock I had. I also added some
Stress Zyme, but I've never had much luck with this in the past. I'll keep
doing daily water changes and replacing the Ammo-Lock until I get things
going again,

Any advice appreciated.



Hi Bill
I am interested in the answer to this myself. If I understood your post
these are fish FROM the pond IN an aquarium. We have been feeding medicated
food lately as well. My wife told me she recently read that 'antibiotic
food' could kill your filter. This has not been the case with us, nor was
it in the pond. However, the info came from that 'About' site which I have
found is a bit generalized but often seeded in truth = sounds like a
possibility anyway.
