The Ph levels in my tank have dropped for some reason. I got home from work this morning and a few of the fish were swimming at the surface. I did a large water change which seemed to sort things out. I got up this afternoon and checked on the fish and they were doing the same. I checked the...

This is my new male GBR Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My male GBR died this morning after only 6 months of having him. I think it was from an internal parasite as he had a sunken belly. My female is fit and healthy and now on her own. Would it be ok if I introduce a new male to the tank? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
