One question, why did my male lyretail die?
My tank is 10g
2 java ferns
5 fake plants
1 hiding rock (can fit 3 guppies)
gravel=substrate
Water parameters:
ph: 7.5
temp= 82 (seriously, thats the lowest i could go).
nitrite, nitrate, ammonia= 0
Liquid master test kit
Daily, weekly, monthly doings.
On sundays, tuedays, thursdays i feed them flakes
On mondays and fridays, i feed them boiled unsweetened peas.
On wednesday i feed them freeze-dried bloodworms.
On saturday i dont feed them at all.
Everyday i turn on the 6000k 10watts light for 8 hours.
Every thurdays i gravel vacuum 10% of the water. (it is reccomended i do 20-25% but i did 10% and the tank is as clean as ever with no little particles except the bubbles).
Monthly i clean the filter. (scrub tubes, swish filter cartige in warm dechlorined water). The next month i change filter cartiges.
I have a top fin 10 filter, i wouldve bought a better one but knowing how well this filter cleans my tank, i might just stick to it.
6 guppies. (well now my lyretail died, 5 now).
2 male (now 1) and 4 females.
My lyretail was happy and eating normally plus he was swimming normally as usual. There was no aggression, and he had just started growing his tail back from the tank he used to be nipped in, from petco.
There was no tracks of any parasite or sickness, and i cleaned those parasite successfully from internal parasites (pooping stringy white poop) with parasite guard 3 weeks ago.
I got my lyretail 4-5 weeks ago.
I mean i could tell the tank was healthy, because my tiger male guppy is just starting to grow his black snake coloration near his dorsal fin. SO i was thinking that the tiger (maybe i should say snake tiger now ) was still pretty young to just start growing its new coloration.
I said that because i don't think the lyretail died from old age. The lyretail is smaller than the tiger guppy and the tiger guppy is at his full length. While the lyretail is only 1 inch.
Does this mean lyretail guppies are naturally smaller than fancy guppies?
So i've told every details about that i could and is there anything that could've happened to my lyretail that i didnt know about?
