New aquarium - 20 gal. Started w/ 2 Platys, 6 Zebra Danios, 1 Cory catfish. 1 week later has an out break of mouth fungus among the Danios (should have fertilized the garden with them all) Used antibiotics - the water change after a week and eventually lost 5 Danios. Finally all under control and have 3 sets of plants. After another week water ok added 2 Otocinclus and 1 smaller platty. After 3 days the first Oto died. After 1 week the second started acting strange sticking up by the water line on the side and the next day died, too (after the pair laid eggs - obviously unfertilized - they didn't do anything). Water temp 78-80. Now the Ammonia is above 5 and the pH below 5 and no matter how many water changes and Amquel can't get it to correct. HELP!
The filter is a penguin 125 and there is a large airstone as well. There are 2 rocks in there - one of those multi color (sanstone or limestone that you buy at the aquarium store and 1 dark with white striations - don't know what also bought at the aquarium store) Any body have any ideas?
