I thought about the sick forum, but they don't appear sick. I just get one or two tetras a day dropping dead without any signs of trauma, disease or anything. They're not sluggish, they're not missing color, they don't have spots, nothing. They swim around one minute, the next I look over and there's a dead tetra in the current or on the filter.
I have 46G with Bleeding Hearts and Cardinals in the tank with Cories, Clown Plecos, 2 Bolivian Rams and live plants. So far the cories, rams and plecos seem resilient.
It's 82F
RO water with some spring water for trace minerals
Nitrate 20
Nitrite 0
GH 75
KH 200ish+
PH 8.0ish
I know the KH and PH are up there a bit, but is that killing a tetra or 2 each day? I'm down to 3 Bleeding hearts from the 8 I had two weeks ago. Fish have been in the tank for a month now. At least when it's ich, I can see what's killing them, argghhhhhhhhhhh!
