A couple days ago I did a water change (30%). Yesterday morning my Venustus died between 8-10am. All the other fish seemed fine except my electric yellow was hanging in the corner by the filter/bubbler towards the top.
I did another water change and my fish started dropping like flies. I have one cichlid left, my corydoras, and a pleco.
I also got a new fish in the mail and had him quarantined in fresh water. He died within a couple hours as well.
Parameters were excellent both before and after water change.
I am absolutely beside myself.
What is going on!?!?!?
SEE FIRST:
•12" bubbler running 24/7
• Well established tank.
•Correct amount of water conditioner always used.
•No drastic change in temp and heater is not broke.
•No CO2 additives and proper lighting for few live low maintenance plants.
•Filter seems to be working fine.
•Covered tank and no cleaning chemicals/fragrances sprayed in house.
Tank was stocked with:
One 7" Venustus
One 6" Common Pleco
One 5" Electric Yellow
One 5" Red Jewel
One 4" Parrot
One 4" Elephant Nose
One 3" Blue Dolphin
One 3" Peacock
Two 3" Kissing Gouramis
Two 2" Corydoras
One 2" Clown Pleco
Any ideas!?!?!?!?
