I don’t have any pictures I remove the dead fish immediately when I see it but all my fish will look fine at night then I wake up in the morning and ones just dead. No symptoms like bloating, lethargy, all were eating fine. I do about 1/4 water change every week to two weeks and vaccum the...

Super helpful copy and paste.

To add on, I have done nothing different in the tank. no changes to anything and been keeping up with regular water changes and tank cleaning as I always have

My Cory’s are randomly dying this week, no signs of illness or anything, my water perimeters are all where they should be the temperature is set at 77. The tetras and otocats in my tank are all thriving. I’ve had the Cory’s for five months and within two days have lost three. Not sure what the...

Thank you for your reply, very helpful information. However I am in Canada and haven’t been able to find dr Tim’s anywhere. I have used nutrafin cycle for years when cycling tanks, not sure if it’s ever helped at all but I’ve never had it cause a problem or negative affect in anyway. Since I’ve...

He’s a little pale as I just turned the light on and woke them up to take a pic

Hi thank you for your reply, that is a young ember tetra

Water parameters are all good. The GH is slightly on the hard side. Water is set and monitored at 77f. No other fish have been affected or show any symptoms of illness or disease. I think if it was “contagious” other fish would have been affected by now as he’s been like this for about 3-4...
