So I've had a 60g freshwater planted tank for about 6-8 months now and until recently, things have been pretty healthy. Then a couple weeks ago my fish started to drop off one by one. In all, I lost three mollys, a pleco and a swordtail and now, today, one of my bamboo shrimp. There are still a few that are alive.
The thing that confuses me is that before they die, they show no signs of being sick. There are no signs of ick, which I've had before, they just drop dead over night. The shrimp turned orange last night and was dead this morning. After every death, I've tested the water and every time, the Ammonia, nitrates and nitrites come up at 0ppm or close to it. I do weekly water changes and use some Flourish for the plants afterwards. Any ideas? I'm tired of having my fish die, but beyond testing and water changing, I don't know what to do.
Thanks.
