I have a 240l tank that has been set up now for about 3 months ammonia 0, nirite about .1ppm and nirate at about .15ppm I have recently just finished treating my tank for Ich with the salt and higher tempreture method changed the water of friday after the 10 days. I currently have in the tank:
5 silver mollies
5 black mollies
4 rams
3 clown loaches
10 neon tetra
5 platies
7 guppies
a common pleco
a gold nugget pleco
2 cory cats
a ruby shark
2 black phantom tetra
and 2 red honey gouramis (one currently dying and the other bought yesterday)
My question is is that yesterday one of my red honey gouramis died we didnt really think anything of it as it wasnt looking well for a day or 2 so we went to the pet store and bought another one to replace it.
Today we have woke up to find our other original gourami sat at the bottom of the main tank, barely moving and its nearly dead i would probably give it another 10-15 minutes if that.
My question is is this something to worry about? With the death of one yesterday i would have just left it but now another one has died to day im not too sure.
The one we got from the pet store is happy as larry but we don't want to go out and replace the other one that has died if the same is going to happen to the new one and i dont want it to be something to jeopordise my other fish especially the gold nugget that cost about £60.
Any ideas?
Thanks
