Part of a Paper I did for Bio Class (1101 Master's course)

Soft water has more to do with GH than pH. Typical home water softeners soften water using a technique known as "ion exchange''. That is, they remove calcium and magnesium ions by replacing them with sodium ions. Although this does technically make water softer, most fish won't notice the difference. That is, fish that prefer soft water don't like sodium either, and for them such water softeners don't help at all. Thus, home water softeners are not an appropriate way to soften water for…

Sickly Angels

A morning feeding; noticed my two angels in the corner, fins clamped, swollen bellies, a protruding anis that is a little red, not bleeding, but irritated looking, and they were covered in a milky coating. They wouldn’t eat that morning, but kept darting for food but returning to the corner without eating. I pulled them out of the tank, and into my quarantine tank. This tank is empty, so they kept rubbing…
