This is actually a 110 g turtle tank that the feeder fish in there have grown to a decent size and the turtles don't eat. I have grown quite attached to the fish. It is 4 good size goldfish and some minnows and some guppies. The tank has a fluval 404 and a fluval 304 on it. Been up and running for quite some times, no new additions to the tank.
I noticed this evening that one of hte minnows had died and all the fish were at the surface basically gasping for air. Obviously the turtles were fine. I do regular water changes on this tank b/c these are very sensitive turtles. I tested everything and the water was actually perfect! No ammonia no nitrates nothing. SO I was going to do a water change anyway (I will do that tomorrow actually) just as a though. I also threw in a power head and placed it at the bottom of the tank thinking maybe the water wasn't circulating enough? I don't know.
Any ideas. I mean again this were just feeders, I normally wouldn't mixt hese guys and the water is probably pretty warm for goldfish but they have done so well for well over a year like I said I am getting attached.
Any ideas???
Thanks,
Christina
