Yup like the title says "I had to kill my Tetra". Had now choice. I had three Red Minor Tetras and two Peppered Cory cats in a 10 gallon tank. They were doing fine the first few days but i noticed one of the Tetras wasn't eating much. The others would chase the food but he wouldn't try. Tuesday one was dead. My water levels where fine so i figured it was the one that wouldn't eat. During feeding time i noticed the last two would chase each other around. Today one was dying couldn't swim the lower part of his fin was gone. Nothing i could do so i had to kill it. The Ammonia levels went up to .5, guess it was the dying one that rose it? and now the last one is pale. Don't know if it was from the stress of fighting or the stress of exposure to the Ammonia? Got home late so didn't know how long it was like that? Planning on taking him back if i can. Cause know he might pick on the Cory's since that's all that's left.
Since my last Tetra is pale is there anything i can do to make him feel better? Do they only belong in larger schools? My two cories may be two much for 10 gallon is there any other fish or invert that i could possibly put in with them? Did my Ammonia rise cause of the dying Tetra? I don't want to replacing fish? and please dont think negative of me. I'm still learning.
