Aquarium Advice FINatic
Ok my 29 gallon tank cycled (Ammonia 0 , Nitrite 0 Nitrate 40). this is a planted tank with a few rocks .
I made about 30% water change and got 8 tiger barbs on saturday.
They seemed happy , playful and very active.
However one died on Sunday without any notice and found another one floating this morning.
I checked the water params and the nitrAte is still high (40, ammonia and NitrIte is 0).
Any ideas why I lost 2 of them.
Also I wanted 2 males and 6 females. My LFS guy said there was no way of telling sex in tiger barbs. Is it possible that I had more males and 2 of them died while proving dominance ?
I am very depressed
