I lost 1 Alb. Cory, 2 Golden barbs, 1 Bolv. Ram
all with in 24 hours, I first noticed my cory dead on top of my java fern leaf.
then I noticed that 1 of my golden barbs was iternally on the water surfuse gulping air, moved it into a seperate container (my 20L plastic container I use for water changes).. it died soon after then I noticed a second barb do the same .. left it in the tank .. and it died soon after and laster that day I noticed my Ram dead.
I did a 30 - 40 % water change .. water params look OK ... Amonia = 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 10, PH stable @ 7
rest of the fish seem okay .. but worried on why these deaths occured ?
(visited a LFS .. they said lack of oxegen .. and asked me to install a air pump ... which I did.. how long should I run the air pump ? my tank has quite a bit fo plants to .. so would running the air pump cause any problem for my planst ?)
