New Tank:Help!

[orangelover77]

I have my old filter and rocks in my new tank.

I agree with phishiephishie. Cycling will take longer typically. The way you cycled your tank could be linked to your guppy's unfortunate death. You also stated that there is no nitrate in your tank which indicates that your tank is not cycled.
Did you do a fish less cycle with ammonia, or fish in?

Fish less cycle with ammonia.

Good to hear
Although I am still concerned about the lack of nitrates.
I also am thinking that the fish in your tank may have something to do with it. It looks as though the Tetra you have is a glofish, which is a GM black shirt tetra. When not kept in schools, they can get very nippy and may have harassed your guppy to death.
Also, did you quarantine fish before adding them to your tank?

It is a Glofish. I have two Glofish now. I kept a close eye on my fish and my Glofish did not show any interest in my guppy and when I looked at him this morning there were no nipped fins, missing scales or anything.

It may have just been a fish that was sick before you purchased it. Unfortunately, this is not unusual. That shows the importance of quarantining fish before adding them to your tank... You never know what they are bringing in.

That's what I was guessing, poor thing.

 

[phishiephishie]

Would you be able to test your ammonia nitrites and nitrates and tell us what the results are?

 

[orangelover77]

Yes I can do that now, give me just a sec.

0mg Nitrite, 20mg Nitrate, 0mg Ammonia
