On another train of thought, Winter often is accompanied by ruptured water mains. Have you noticed any street work in your area? Even if it was 3 weeks ago any 'bad' water or sediment is probably still in your hot water heater.

Did you close your filter before changing a water? Did you disconnect power?

I can agree with you, but jimz fish didn't have problems for years (summer and winter) with the same maintenance routines and now something happened, so maybe city put something in the tap water.mikeg2929 wrote: Personally, i think test kits are way over rated.

One thing to consider - when it is very cold, gases in the water react differently. I dont recall if they are more or less dissolved in the water, but the impact can be very detrimental to your fish. I have seen this in various protomelas and placidochromis sp. If possible, let the water stand over night when it is really cold. Just agitate it with an airstone.
