Hi
This is my first ever batch of fish and after 2 days we have 3 dead. The tank holds 35 litres and we have had the water cirrulating for 3 weeks before the fish were added. We added some neutralising drops as suggested by our suplier and the heater is set at 25 degrees with a separate thermometer, so we know thats right. Again we have been advised this is correct by the supplier and friends.
We purchased 8 blue guppies and 5 glo-lite tetra on sunday, wanting to start small and not over crowd the tank, this is what was advised by the shop. After a settling in period of a few hours they started to move about and explore and all of them eat, all was looking good. On Monday morning tho we found one of the Guppies dead, we put this down to the stress of moving. Once again on monday eve all seemed well, but this morning there was 2 dead at the bottom of the tank.
Im not sure if this is normal, but its only the guppies that are going, the glo-lites seem very happy. Do you think its bullying? We dont have plants yet but there is a castle, ive been told fish like to hide!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
