Re: [Killietalk] Poly Filter

I was going to contact you directly, but since I saw your posting thought I 
would address it on line since you addressed something I had not considered - 
the poly filter.  

I purchased three different species of Epiplatys from the fish room at the 
CKA.  You may remember that we sat and talked about each at length.  The chaperi 
Angona and infrafaciatus Bipindi both are doing great and are in their own 
2.5 gallon tanks.  However, when I got home Sunday the ansorgii were dead.  At 
the time it didn't occur to me but since you put this email on the list, I 
realized that they were the only ones with poly-filter.

I have used polyfilter myself in the past with no problems, however, this 
might have been what caused their deaths.  I wonder if the fact that it didn't 
seem to work is due to the fact that killies usually travel with such small 
amounts of water.  When I have used polyfilter with cichlids and others, it has 
been in situations where larger volumes of water were used.
