Hello,
I have been following this forum for several months and have converted my tank into a planted aquarium and have been impressed with the results achieved so far with CO2 and EI dosing.
However on Saturday I noticed one of my rams, was gasping a lot, led on the bottom of the tank, he was very grey and seemed to be in a lot of pain. I quickly put him into a breeding tank (within the main tank) to stop any other fish bothering him.
Unfortunately he passed away on Sunday. No new fish have been added to this tank for about 3 months, I done a few tests on the water:
200 litre tank
Ammonia = 0
Nitrite = 0
Nitrate = 5 mg/l
PH = 7 ish
Temp = 26 C
drop checker green using 4dkh water.
I have now noticed that my golden rams seem to be hiding a lot now and rarely making appearance, when they used to be all out at the front. The single Bolivian ram seems fine, full of colour etc.
Any ideas what could of caused this death and should I worry about the golden rams?
Sorry for the long post.
Thanks
Jon
