I added 10 grade s CRS 20 days ago and now there are only 2 left.
I have a 20litre tank with external filter 300 lph out put via spray bar. Tank has been setup for 2 years, substrate is tropica plant substrate capped with 1.5" of fine coarse gravel. It's heavily planted with fissidens fontanus, microsorum pteropus both growing on mopani wood, blyxa japonica and hydrocotyle sp.japan. The 5 cherries have bred regulary for the last year, there are 3 amanos 1 of which is berried, 1 galxy rasbora and 3 micro rasboras. Water parameters are temp 23/24°c, Ph 7, Kh 5 and Gh 5, amonia, nitrite and nitrate 0.
I feed them Shirakura Ebi Dama once a day and remove uneaten food after 2/3 hours.
I do 50% water change every week with remineralised RO water and 1.5ml tropica nutrition plus. I top up about 500ml of plain RO weekly.
I'm so frustrated, I can't think what has caused them to die. I have even bought a TDS pen and the reading is 182ppm. Is this the cause? :?
Any help greatly appreciated.
