Hi all,
Have had some very unexpected deaths to my Tuxedo Guppies, whom share a tank with 6 peppered Cory's, 12 Neon Tetras, 12 Red lone tetras and 4 Hong Kong suckers. The tank is a 90 lt tank (approx 20 gallon). It has a built in filter system with a large filter element.
Ammonia levels are at zero, but as a precaution, I've carried out a 50% water change and have thoroughly hoovered the substrate. A week later, I performed another 50% water change. The remaining 3 guppies have shrunk in size and the larger one is a funny shape. The confusion is that they are showing signs of red gill (ammonia burn), even though the tests have come back zero.
I don't know if it's worth mentioning, but I don't have any real plants, only artificial ones.
Any advice?
