Hi all,
I've have a fully cycled tank for about 2 months now. I had 8 rainbow fish in the tank for a few weeks and they all seemed to be doing great up until 2 weeks ago. After I changed the water (30% water change) 2 of the rainbows died 2 days later. I did another water change 2 days ago and today I see another rainbow staying at the top of the tank (same symptoms I saw in the two that died. I tested the water and all parameters are good (0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, very little nitrates) I add 3 caps of prime to the tank during the water changes (its a 75g tank using the python) the only thing I could possibly think it could be is a fluctuation in Ph, but I'm not sure.
Kh - 3 drops changes water from blue to yellow
Gh - 5 drops changes from orange to green
Honestly no clue what the Kh or Gh should be,so not sure if this is good or not
I have crushed coral in my filters
Any ideas what could be killing the fish?
