quarantined GF in a container. The swollen pom pom slowly growing bigger. But his appetite keep on increasing... will post again updates on him.

dont have water tester except pH tester (about 7 pH). Water is changed 50% twice weekly in cycled tank. i think ammonia,nitrate,nitrate should be in the safe level. water is clear but slightly yellow (tainted by red/green food pellet).

I forgot to switch on the pump for continuous 6 hours couple of months ago. water is yellow n dirty. did a 50% water change immediately. Will that mistake kill of good bacteria and uncycle my tank?
