TN Tanks
Aquarium Advice Regular
Hey guys, I thought I did enough homework but maybe not, what do you think? I just set up my 135 gal FW tank, well filtered and lit, lots of fake coral (plastic) hiding spots, and all Ammonia and Nitrite levels are correct ( I used the new instant cycle bacteria, brain fart so I forgot the name ) and had the following stock:
8 Rosy Barbs ( 4 male, 4 female )
6 Tiger Barbs
4 Clown Loaches
1 Red Tailed Shark, about 3in or so
1 Rope Fish ( Carpet burned, unfortunately )
1 Blue Crayfish
6 Angels
Started off ok, but one of the angels had its dorsals nipped off and didnt make it, so I transfered my angels, end of the problem, right?
Next day, I wake up to 2 of the male Rosy's dead, no signs, no nipped fins that I could tell, just dead. Next day I woke up to the 2 larger Clowns in the same condition on the bottem of the tank.
I dont know what to add next, was thinking of some mollies for the nutrition value of the young, and a brine shrimp hang on incubator.
Guess the question is, any clue on why I suffered the losses?
