Lost a Rummy

[black hills tj]

Last night one of my 6 rummynoses was swimming alright, but he'd randomly kind of tilt over a little bit then upright himself. He showed no physical signs of illness and he was bright red as ever. Everything else in the tank is nice. Recent changes to the tank are: added driftwood(boiled for 30 minutes prior to placing in tank), added anubias and java moss, added 2 GBR and 3 otto.

No ammonia spike or anything?

They are pretty sensitive fish, maybe it was something beyond your control?

Sorry, regardless.

I am sorry. I agree with DT sometimes with delicate fish like Rummys it just happens.

PH: 8.2

Sorry for your loss, try a water change to see if it helps at all. At the very least it won't hurt.

50% change and a few hours later they look to be swimming just fine now. I was hesitant to do the change due to the GBR's being newly introduced. Everyone seems to be doing fine though.
