hello,
I've always thought this would happen to someone else, and not me.
between the hours of 4:00 and 8:40 a entire 55 gallon tank of yellow lab juvies has died… around 40 1 inch fish have died.
my parameters are
0 ammonia
0 nitrite
5 nitrate
temp 76
ph 6.8
with an API liquid kit
these fish have been in this tank for around 3 weeks, no signs of distress before death no there inhabitants beside the labs
the only thing that changed was a 50% PWC yesterday around noon. I can't say I specifically remember putting prime in, but then again I did at least 30 PWC's yesterday and everyone else is fine, and I would think I would have seen gasping or had them die sooner…
any ideas are welcome, and I want to get to the bottom of this, because that was my last tank of juvies, and I just sold the breeders…..
