Hi all!
First post, wish it was happier and I hope it's in the right place! I have a 14 gal aqueon FW tank kit with 1 bristlenose cat, 1 redtail shark, and (now) 3 Tiger Barbs. We originally bought 3 barbs... About 4 days later I woke up to 1 dead on the substrate, nothing visibly wrong just dead! PH test and ammonia test check out just fine.. Temp is normal too. I thought maybe the shark got feisty but no.. Two days later 1 more dead in the same way. My boyfriend and I waited 2 days and our last barb still lived! We bought 3 more (4 total) thinking he was in theclear.. He died earlier today (assuming it was the original), 2 days after we got our new barbs. Any ideas what is going wrong? They are eating and water tests are normal, I feel like a horrible fish killer. let me know if more info is needed.
Thanks!
