Hey guys. This is my first post..found this site searching for ideas as to what's going on with my tank. The past 2 days my fish are dying off like nobodies business. I have a 125 gallon freshwater. It's been up and running for 3 months with filter and sand and plants from previous tank.. it was taken down and moved from one house to another so basically just refilled.
Again it's 125 gallons
6 dalmation mollies
1- 2" Pleco
4 Cory
12 female guppies
6 male gup pies
4 tiger barb
12 neon tetra
6 neon danios
Woke up 2 days ago to a dead fish (guppy)
Yesterday woke up to 2 dead fish (tiger and molly)
Today woke up to 1 dead fish. (Tiger)
Currently have one male molly sitn on the bottom breathing slowly
Did 25% water change this morning
Testing water day and night to watch for changes
Use liquid API test and Prime with water changes
Day of 1st death
0-nitrites
Maybe .25 ammonia...slight yellow green tint
PH 7.8
Nitate 20
Temperature 78 degrees
Day two deaths
Everything the same
25% water change and
PH 7.8
0 ammonia
Nitrate dropped to 10
Nitrites 0
Water seems pretty darn good.. fish don't look diseased. Seem perfectly active and eating and healthy but waking up to dead ones..
Last Saturday I did add 6 new fancy guppy but I did not add store water from bag. and while there bought some frozen blood worms for treats but that's the ONLY changes to my tank.
Please help as I'm racking my brain.. I've had aquariums for about 20 yrs and never had loss in this way with no visual disease and levels decent.
