We have had a Baby Biorb set up for a week and a half. A full week without fish and then we added three zebra danios.
This is our first real go at keeping an aquarium, we did try several years ago but our minnows died so we gave up. We added TapSafe to begin with and the filter boost sachet that comes with the Biorb filter kit. Yesterday a danio simply disappeared. We removed the ornaments and moved the ceramic media but to no avail. Still no danio. Another of my danios looks to be on his way out now too. He stays near the bottom and isn't moving much. I have the net ready to fish this one out if needed.
If fish are dying should I continue with the cycling of it? Obviously ammonia will be high currently and I think I was over feeding them too. I haven't fed today and won't tomorrow.
I have two queries:
1. If all fish die do I add more to keep cycle going?
2. Should I water change a percentage of the tank?
Any help greatly appreciated
