Aquarium Advice Freak
Got 10 Rummy Noses 3 days ago as part of the last group of fish I was planning to quarantine before completing my 55 GAL community.
Unfortunately in just a couple of days I lost 8 of them and I am afraid I will loose the last 2 as well
Not sure what is going on. Here are some facts: I had a 6 GAL QT tank for a few months by now. I used it to quarantine my new fish for a few weeks before introducing them to my 55 GAL with my other fish.
After a few waives of residents in the QT I decided to move everything (sand, decorations, fake plants) to my unused 10 GAL in preparation for a school of 10 Rummy Noses. I used approx 5 GAL of old water from the smaller tank and filled the other half of the 10 GAL with treated (PRIME) tap water. After bringing the Tetras home Thu evening and checking next day morning I realized that there were only 8 of them schooling, the 9th one was swimming a bit weird by himself and 10th one couldn't see. Same day towards the evening I realized that there were only 6 of them schooling and the others had died. Next day only 4 were schooling the other 2 had died. Today I only have 2 more left because I found 2 that died sometimes today
I a not sure what is going on, they don't have any exterior signs of disease or other unusual behavior besides those few I saw braking apart from the big school.
My water measures:
7.0
0
0
20
KH (2 drops) dKH 2 - ppm GH/KH 35.8
GH (7 drops) dKH 7 - ppm GH/KH 125.3
Please let me know what do you think is happening, I am devastated to loose so many gorgeous fish in such a short time.
Thanks a lot.
