I've a planted 60 litre in a fish in cycle for the past 4 weeks, prior to that it was going fishless with ammonia but due to issues with nitrite and pH I had to switch to fish in.
The cycle is pretty much complete, 0 Amm, 0 nitrItes pH 7.6 and nitrAtes 10
I lost 4 fish very quickly yesterday with no apparent warning, fitted an airstone figuring it must be an oxygen issue as the rest kept swimming to the top, but today 2 more have died and the rest are looking pretty delicate.
Does this mean its something else that's the issue or does it take time for the airstone to make a difference?
The fish are alternating between staying at the bottom and the top, not really swimming round.
