Hey all
Well I lost 16 fish over the last 2 weeks. I lost 3 Danios, 1 Gouramis (my favorite), 1 Loach, 1 Cherry barb, 5 Neon Tetras, 2 Minnows, 3 Guppies. They were all in my community tank and I have second tank for Cichlids. At the height of the slaughter my tank temperature was at 85 k and I had an ammonia reading of .5 ppm. Now it is as follows:
Temp = 79
ph = 8.3
Ammonia = .25
Nitrite = 0
Nitrate = 20
GH = 11
KH = 15
The Gouramis had missing pieces from his tail which I thought might be other fish nipping him. Is it possible I have a fish disease in the tank or do you think it was the temperature and ammonia being off? All that is left in the tank is 3 Guppies, 1 Danio, 1 minnow, and a pleco. All of them seem fine. I would have done more readings during this but I was busy with work. Also, these readings are after a 50% water change.
