[Filth]

Hi there.
Last month my neon tetra's had borwn/white on on there body's.
I used general tonic and they looked normal again 2 weeks later..
But ever since then i have it in my head there there is something up with them.

i only have 3 as 1 died.
they are schooling with my 6 rummy nose (were added 3 days ago)
there eating ok..

they were added to my tank the day after it was set up as there was no room for my old tank aswell.

they lost there colour and had a brown/white colour on there sides. it went with general tonic but now its playing with my head haha!

Do you test your water? If you do, could you post all of your results here? What is your temp?

+1
What is the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH?
Is the tank cycled?

 

[Filth]

yeh i do it weekly.
i just added a new external filter (but keeping my old one running for a month)
the levels have gone up abit in the last 2 days


Ph 7.4
ammonia 0
Nitrite 0.25
Nitrate 5.0

heat is at 26 c

tank was fully cycled before adding this external

Nitrite should be 0 from the picture they look fine. Neons can be quite sensitive. Imo its normal to expect one or two deaths in the first couple of weeks. They would enjoy some more buddies though.

I don't see anything wrong with your tests. how often do you do your water changes?

 

[Filth]

ok thanks

yeh as soon as its all sorted in getting 5 more neons. just making sure everything is ok. the nitrite was 0 till i added this external it went to 0.50 then came down so i think it will be ok after a water change and 24 hours

THANK YOU!
It was just playing with my head haha!


I water change 30% once a week
