Hello, I am new to the forum. I am baffled at what is going on. I have started my hand at a planted aquarium. I have been working on my knowledge of aquariums for about a year now. I feel like I'm doing things correctly but I am encountering issues.
My fish are having issues with breathing, and two fish have died now.
the first fish that died this morning appeared to be breathing heavy for the last few days. I thought it was related to my ph being a little high.
I started injecting co2 two days ago. It hasn't been an easy process as the fermenting container wasn't getting started easily. I have a drop indicator on the tank that says the co2 is still low. I included a video as well showing that it's not tossing in bubbles at a ridiculous rate.
Brand new canister filter.
In case I was testing my water incorrectly, I took it to petco and they tested it too... looks great.
I did a water change two days ago.
pictures include water test I did just now in accordance to the specs in the book, the samples are in the same order as the color key. Co2 drop indicator, the picture wasn't as accurate as the color looks. It seems to be blue green to me, suggests that the co2 levels are still low.
I can't seem to attach the video, so here's hoping the link works. The video shows the rate that my bubbles are coming in.
I don't know what else to include. Thoughts?
