Aquarium Advice FINatic
Please I hope anyone can help me out.
In the span of just 12 hours I've lost 6 fish!!!
I'm in the process of doing a 50% water change and tidying up filter boxes. Gonna switch out some of the inserts.
I have no idea what happened! I lost my lone Cory on Friday. No visible signs of disease just dead. This morning before work I noticed one of my juvi platies in distress and another dead.
I isolated him ASAP and dosed my med tank with a shot of Melafix and went to work. I came home just now and the platy was dead but also in my main tank I lost 2 sword fry and my Neon!!
What the heck is going on!! I have a sneaking suspicion of a bacterial infection of some sort that I introduced when I bought a new betta last week. I don't think I QTed him long enough and now I'm paying the price.
How stupid of me!!
I haven't had a sick fish in over a year and now I've lost 6 in less than a day!!
All my shrimp look fine and my water parameters are: pH 7.4-7.6, ammonia 0 ppm, nitrites 0 ppm, nitrates 5 ppm. Water temp about 74 F
No hardness kit I have to order a new one.
Will be checking this thread periodically, still doing water change.
Thanks AA
