So I just finished fishless cycling my tank, and after all was said and done, I added 2 african cichlids and a pleco. Waited a day and added 2 more cichlids. Cichlids are fine and happy but mysteriously the pleco is dead..
It's a 30 gal Hex, with a Rena xP2.
The readings are:
pH: 7.4
ammo: 0 ppm
nitrIte: 0 ppm
nitrAte: ~20ppm
temp: 78-83 (depending on light off or on)
Livestock:
Hypostomus plecostomus *Deceased*
Labidochromis caeruleus
Metriaclima estherae
Metriaclima lombardoi
Pseudotropheus crabro
I have been feeding it algae wafers and it was fine this morning when i left for work and 10 hrs later it was dead. The only thing I can think of is the fluctuation in temp from light off to light on..
any thoughts?
