Hello everyone,
So I have a dilemma - fish are dying and no one knows why. I have been to several different aquarium shops and no one has any idea as to why the fish are dying.
Most of them have all done this weird behaviour a couple of days/just before they have died:
- stayed at the top of the tank
- not moved much (just stayed in the same position with dorsal and pectoral fins moving a little bit)
- some have hid behind the filter where there is no water flow.
I have had at least 8 guppies and platies die but none of the other inhabitants ( lace Gourami, angelfish, 13 angelfish and 3 juvenile bristlenose)
I tested the water yesterday and the results were great:
Ph - 7.0-7.2
Ammonia- 0
Nitrate - 0
Nitrite - 0
I do 1-2 water changes every week but recently I have had a bit of algae so I've been doing about a 35-50% change every day for the past 3 days.
By the way, my tank was cycled for about 5-6 weeks before I got fish
Someone please help!!!
