Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hey guys,
Two days ago I added some new fish to my 10 gallon freshwater and this morning I woke up to 1 neon tetra stuck to the filter intake and 1 otocinclus struggling to survive (he moves when I go near him but is clearly suffering...poor little guy ) The first thing I did was check my water parameters. I have a ~7.6 pH, 0 ppm ammonia, 0 ppm nitrite, and 10-20 ppm nitrate. All seem to be normal levels... Am I missing something? Was it just the stress of a new environment? Please give me your opinions.
