Hi everyone. Last week I lost one of my 7 Rummy Nose Tetras shortly after seeing it swimming erratically. Now another one of the tetras is doing the same thing. It looks similar to SBD with its tail down and difficulty swimming up. The affected tetra also looks darker than usual. I am not seeing and dropsy swelling.
I have a 20 gallon high tank that has been operational for over a year with these fish. I use a Tidal HOB filter and switch up the feed between flakes, dried shrimp and Bug Bites. In addition to the now 6 tetras, I have a female betta and a nerite snail. I replace 20% of the water weekly without fail. It is a planted tank and a couple of months ago, I added two new plants. There was alot of plant melting which I took as normal but now there is also alot more algae than usual.
My parameters taken today:
Temp: 79
PH: 7.5
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate:0
I’ve attached some pictures…thanks for any help.
