Hi
I am having trouble keeping my fish as I seem to lose fish on a regular basis. My tank has been running with fish for well over a year now.
I have lost a couple of barbs over the past few days and a flying fox.
Other barbs look unwell (lack colour and pop eye).
I clean my tank once a week using a siphon and do a 20% change.
I am a little unsure as to why my water quality is so poor if I am cleaning my tank as often as I am. Can anyone advise as to why my fish keep getting ill?
I have a 70l tank.
Ammonia is 0
NO2 is <0.3mg/l
Ph is 6
Any advise would be welcome as I cannot understand why these fish keep dying!
Thanks
