Some strange things are happening in my 60g tropical. Some of my fish have started dying recently, i bought 5 danios and 2 guppies 1M 1F the other day. Within 24 hours the female guppy had died, i put this down to stress from being moved. However today one of my Rams has died found it floating around this morning, with the other ones looking rather sick aswell. Then today we also noticed a neon tetra that has lost nearly all of its colour and its skin is looking cloudy with random scales sticking up, it is also extremly bloated.
I ran afew tests afew minutes ago, Ammonia 0ppm, Nitrite 0ppm, Nitrate about 10pmm. After all these tests proving fine i then did a pH test and it came out really red!!! About pH 5 maybe lower!!! I have some pH Up soloution and will obviosuly be adding it to the tank, i was just wondering, how the **** has this happened, my pH was stable at 7 not 2 days ago so how has this massive jump happened? Would you think this is the reason fish in my tank are dying and does anybody have any answer as to how i can solve this internally (without using pH up crystals)
Thanks
