Any advice on this one would be very much appreciated.
I have 180L Tank, fully cycled levels at
Ammonia:- 0
Nitrite:- 0
Nitrate:- 10 (Not long since last water change)
I have the following fish:
2 Clown Loach
6 Neon Tetras
6 RummyNose Tetras
2 Dwarf Puffer Fish
2 Dwarf Suckermouth Catfish
1 Bristlenose Catfish
4 Tiger Barbs
3 Green Tiger Barbs
All has been fine, went through a small Nitrite nightmare a few weeks ago now, but all has been settled and figures stable since.
I came in from work today to find one of my Dwarf Suckermouth Catfish dead. There was no warning, nothing.
Looking further around the tank, I notice that today my Loaches are not looking too clever either. One very listless, the other just notquite himself.
We have been having some problems with algae, nothing too excessive, which was what my LFS advised buying the Suckermouth Catfish for, and they had really broken the back of it.
Looking frantically through the various books we have decided to go for an Anti Internal Bacteria treatment hoping it might do some good, and couldn't do any harm.
If anyone can offer any advice, I'd be VERY grateful.
Thank you in advance
