Very frustrating.
I have a 50 gal goldfish tank that has over 60 fish, including 3 pleco and 1 guppie 3 filters and very little maintenance. It's over crowded but fish do fine. Its been up for over 3 months and not a single goldfish has died.
I did an amonia test yesterday and is down in the zero range. Just the lowest yellow color. I figured they had to be swimming in amonia but it hardly registers. I also tedted nitrites and they are zero range too. TDS is 450ish. And Ph is about 7.2ish. Very few water changes. Wierd
However, my 30 gal tank, for which I do frequent water changes, is stable at 7.7ish and TDS in the 150 range is killing my fish. i had a swordtail dye a few days ago. Did a partial water change an 3 more died last night.
I seem to have better luck, when I ignore all the rules The only thing I can thinknof is maybe the water was too warm, that I added. Or had too much dechlorinator added. Can that cause this problem. I onlybremoved about 5 gallons and added 5 gallons. The only change was the water
