well last night was traggic for this 21 year old, at 1:32 am I was on the computer and looked over at my fish tank to see that one of my tiger barbs had passed away. he was stuck between the thermometer and the corner just floating. I'm thinking it could have been the stress of me adding two new fish last night, I added a black molly anda black and blue betta. I figured he might pass soon though, he was the runt of the group, always last to eat, sorta pale in comparison to the other barbs. I know that adding fish can alter your PH levels and this morning I went out and bought a new PH test kit since mine was already used up and found that my PH went from a neutral 7.0 to a drastic change of 6.6!!! It didn't seem to bother the other fish at all, but i guess it was his time to go, but it has also been 15 days since i did a PWC. Before you jump on me over that i had strepp throat and was unable to tend to the tank for that time lol but i wanted to share with you guys and gals my loss, lefty will truely be missed.
