Hi everyone,
So I started my second tank a few weeks ago. 46 gal. with 10 small tiger barbs. Water is good, as I used media from my 90gal, and test the water regularly.
Anyway, on Sunday I bought 2 pictus cats and a gold nugget pleco. Last night I found one of the cats swimming close to the surface kinda looking like it was going to die. This morning he was dead, the other cat was fine sticking to the bottom looking for food. Now I get home from work and find the other cat dead So far the gold nugget is fine..
Did the barbs kill the cats? I buy all my fish from the same reputable place for the past few years, never had any ich/disease problems.
Thanks...
