There may have been a suddeng change in water chemistry:  I change 2/3 of
the tank's bottom gravel, causing much crap to release into the water.  My
AquaClear 150 filterd it out in 1/2 an hour, though.  When I noticed the red
spot, I tested for both nitrite and ammonia, but both were 0.

Is there *anything* I can do to increase my kuhli's chances for survival?

Is there any danger to adding antibiotics to the tank, on a "just in case"
basis?
