Aquarium Advice Freak
1~What type of fish is afflicted? Mickey Mouse Platy's, orange: in 2, the color has darkened, and they seem to lay at the bottom of the tank. From what I know, they eat just fine. The other 2's color seems to have lightened, they are more active, but still "rest" on the bottom of the tank.
2~What are your tank parameters?
Amonia: 0
nitrites: 1.0
Nitrates: 5.0
PH: 8.4
Temp: 80.5
3~ How large is the tank? 29g long tank, about a month now
4~What type of filtration are you using? Aquaclear 30, dont remember the gph
5~How many fish are in the tank? 4 orange mickey platy's about 1 inch, 4 black mollies about 1.5 inches, 2 black skirt tetra 1 is about an inch, and the other about 1.5, 7 guppies (5 tequila sunrise and 2 black tail, all about 1.25 inches), 1 gibbi pleco about 1.5-2 inches
6~When is the last time you did a water change and vacuum the gravel?
75% 3 days ago with gravel vac
7~How long have you had the fish? If the fish is new, how did you acclimate it/them? the fish have been with us for 3 months now I believe
8~Have you added anything new to the tank--decor, new dechlorinator, new substrate, etc.? The tank has been completely redone, new gravel, decor, everything. The tank was technically restarted a month ago, as we had to tear it down and start it up in emergency mode.
9~What kind of food have you been feeding your fish, have you changed their diet recently? mostly tetramin flakes, with a mix of blood worms, lately cucumber is shared with the pleco, but the problem has been occuring since before the cucumber was added to the diet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Bear
