Hello everyone! This is my first post on this site and want to thank everyone in advance.
So, I have 2 gouramis(pearl and opaline) and had 4 mollies, now just 1 mollie. And a african dwarf frog.
It's a 29 gallon tank
Tetra whisper ex 30 filter
Also have a small sponge filter
Ammonia is .5ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
Nitrate 40ppm.
My tank just recently finished cycling, ironically that's when the mollies started to die. I tested the water and had the above results, with a ph of 6. I found this to be very odd because my tap water is ph of 8.2-8.4 with ammonia of a little less then 1ppm.
I assume the ph drop is why the mollies died. Any ideas as to it dropped like that?
