Hi all,
I have had my tank running for around 6 months and so far everything had been fine until the last 2/3 weeks. I am losing fish constantly recently but they show no sign of illness other than a slightly bloated stomach on the cardinal Tetras.
I am using a JBL test kit shich says no ammonia, Nitrite or Nitrate. PH IS 7.2 aswell.
Tanks is around 450 litres including the sump capacity with CO2 being piped into the inlet (Drop checker and test kit says it is safe). The tank gets a weekly water change with treated water about 25/30 percent. Currently stocked with 3 angel fish, 6 congo tetras, formely 10 cardinal tetras and 10 glowlight rasbora. Oh and about 20 cherry shrimp.
Nome of the fish look like they are fighting and when I get the bodies no one seems to have tried to eat them.
I am dosing all Seachem products as per the instructions on the back of the bottle 2 times per week for most items. The tank is heavily planted and I am at a loss as to what to do with it at the moment. I have tried an internal bacteria treatment but doesnt seem to have done anything.
So far I have lost about 5 cardinal, 4 rasboras and a congo tetra.
Any advice or help would be great.
