I've had a terrible problem with my fish all dying lately. I was treating with antibiotics for about a week now and today I did a 50% water change in my tank.
I removed four 5 gallon buckets of water, this is a 40g breeder tank. I replaced the water in my tank by connecting 1/2 hose to the vegetable sprayer of the kitchen sink, just removing the sprayer allows you to hook straight to the hose. I put the hose into the tank where it had the water running against the glass so no to disturb anything in the tank or splash and move the substrate.
Once I got it filled and got my filter going again and the powerhead I'm using for DIY CO2 injection, I noticed that just about everything in the tank looked like it had air bubbles coming off them. I assumed this was what I had read about called pearling. But what is pearling and what causes it? Is that what my plants were doing or was it from something else?
