Aquarium Advice FINatic
I have a 26gal tank, i've had it for 6 months and it has been cycled. The temp stays around 76-78. Currently I have two bushynosed plecos, and four platies. Three of the platies I got about three weeks ago and they are doing fine. I had just bought three more platies just a few days ago, but two of them just died this morning. I did notice that they hang out at the bottom before they just died also the tend to open and close their mouths as if breathing hard? I change about 15% every week, my water is good. Ph-7.6, ammonia-0, nitrite-0, nitrate- 0-5, so says my liquid test. When I went back to the store they tested my water but couldn't figure why they died. So I have no idea what is happening to them. Every two weeks I place aquarium salt in the tank. Please help.
