Gogs, at a guess maybe they need a surge system as employed in some artificial reef systems. Many species will go down quickly even in clean and well aerated water if the movements not there. As far as I know they cost a bomb and if you\'ve got one there are much better uses to put them to. Also have you provided them with flowery swimming hats, a slow lane, changing rooms and a Bovril machine. Hope this helps.

Hi gogs, ive had velvets in a tank for up to 2 weeks bringing them on, clean water and plenty air, never had any casualties yet.

Bloody good bait the velvets, they are few and far between thought, when I put a velvet peeler on I expect to catch a fish
Now that\'s confidence.
