Hello, I have a 45 gallon fish tank, with 7 angelfish, (small) and 3 Reticulated loaches.
I had one loach that died yesterday. I removed him and tested the water and the Ammonia looks good, as well as nitrates/nitrites, etc. I have not had a change in the chemistry in the water. I completed a 25% water change last week, and also replaced 2 of the 4 filter pads that I have, and left the remaining media alone.
Today, the other two loaches are dead, and one of my Angel's is dead as well. I retested the water, nothing is different. The tank is reading 74.5 degrees with the heater on. There is no sign of fungus, or other illness physically. The fish are fed frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, emerald entree, as well as a flake.
Any ideas? I would like to keep the remaining Angel's alive!
