My 20g L has 40-50 Molly Juvie's ... They eat 3xs a day. Everything has been normal until about 3 days ago. I did my normal 80% PWC that I do 2xs a wk. My API reading was:
Ph- 7.4
Am- 0
Nitrites- 0
Nitrates- 40
My tap is known to have 10-20 ppm
A lot of the fish were standing on end shuddering ( like my adults do when they're showing disapproval of another fish ) on and off. They're at the water line a lot but still come to the glass immediately when I approach the tank.
I did another PWC of 50% a few hours later when I noticed their behavior. Nothing changed...
It's been a hectic few days.. My dog had glaucoma that worsened and had to have her eye removed today. So I haven't been able to do another PWC...
Tonight there were 2 of the smaller ones dead, 1 panting on the gravel, and some at water line doing their shiver thing...
Parameters are same as other night...
I've just battled bringing down crazy high nitrates since Christmas... They were 160... Brought down to 40 in a week... Hasn't dropped below 40 in this tank yet.
Although I was able to get my 29g to 10!
HELPPP! :-/
