I am currently cycling/cloning my 55 gal tank with 4 giant danios. I came home today and one of them was at the bottom of the tank acting lethargic and later died. I tested my water the amonia is around .02 and the nitrate and nitrites are almost non existant and the pH is between 5.5 and 6. The other three danio are acting fine swimming around full strength by the looks of it. I was just curious on yalls opinion, do you think it was the fish or is this an early warning sign of more danio deaths?
My 55 gal has been running for a week now and this is the first sign of trouble I have seen. I am using my mature 30gal tank to clone this 55 gal.
Also something odd i noticed was that the danios underside was very yellowish which I did not notice there until it was dying(99% sure it wasn't there before).. All the others in the tank have a very white and shiny underside but this ones was a yellow tint. I am not fimillar with fish diseases so I couldn't be sure, but that was the only thing out of the ordinary about the fish.
