Hey guys. I've had 2 baby yellow-bellied turtles for about 3 weeks. I had 2 common plecostomus in a half-full 55 gallon tank with 2 canister filers going. I feed regularly, sometimes 2-3 times a day. Admittedly a bad habit since I hear they are only supposed to eat once daily. Anyways, I have a shubunkin goldfish in there with them now because my girlfriend wanted something pretty in there -__- well his fins got nipped a bit but he's been getting along fine now. But my plecos just died and I think the alkalinity was high. I did a 25% change 3 days before the first one died so I don't understand what happened. What can I do about the alkalinity and how soon can I get more plecos?
