1~What type of fish is afflicted? In addition, please describe what is wrong with the fish to the best of your ability (i.e. cotton like growth, bloated, etc.). We purchased 3 glofish tetras 24 hours ago and this morning one was hanging out and hardly moving at the bottom, and died several hours later. There are 3 remaining that are moving around - though mostly at the bottom - and one of the 3 seems to be moving less in the last hour.
2~What are your tank parameters (ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, temp, pH)? Please give exact values.
Using Imagitarium 6 in 1 test strips:
3~ How large is the tank? How long has the tank been set up? 15 gallon tank which was set up 12 days ago to cycle. I initially added Prime and Conditioner, added a used filter from my daughter's betta tank, a piece of spider wood and added 4 real plants to help get the water to the right levels. There is also a UV light.
4~What type of filtration are you using? Please give the name and number (i.e. Fluval 304) and amount of gph if known. Aqueon Medium Filter Quietflow Internal, 20 Gallon: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/aqueon-medium-filter-quietflow-internal
5~How many fish are in the tank? What kinds of fish are they and what are their current sizes? 4 small glofish tetras
6~When is the last time you did a water change and vacuum the gravel? How often do you do this? How much water do you remove at a time? Never done it since it's new
7~How long have you had the fish? If the fish is new, how did you acclimate it/them? 24 hours. After the pet store tested the water and said it was safe, we got the fish and put sealed bag in the tank for 20 minutes. We then transfered the fish from the bag to a bowl with tank water using a net, and then dumped the bowl into the tank.
8~Have you added anything new to the tank--decor, new dechlorinator, new substrate, etc.? no
9~What kind of food have you been feeding your fish, have you changed their diet recently? We got glofish specific flakes. We've fed them a 4 times in the last 24 hours - very little.
Thanks in advance!
