I have 1 dead angel fish and another not feeding and sitting in the bottom corner and not totally sure why but think it could be 1 of 2 things maybe.
The first thing I think it could be I havent cycled the tank properly?
Ok I will start from the beginning now:
Brought a second hand tank/filter (240litre tank and Tetratec Ex 700 filter) and new air pump, heater etc. I used Aquasafe to take the chlorine out the water and filled the tank up. The filter was full of water when I brought it so run it like that hoping it might help me cycle the tank. Straight away run the tetra 6 in 1 tests and all was perfect to my surprise.. I had ordered some Tetra SafeStart but was taking ages to arrive, so kept monitoring the tank for a week with the 6 in 1 tests and all was coming back perfect every time, I got impatient waiting for the SafeStart to arrive and added 4 angel fish. All has been fine now for a couple of weeks till today. The Tetra 6 in 1 tests are still saying everything is fine so I'm abit confused.
Today I went and brought some Tetra GeneralTonic to see if this helps (fingers crossed).
The Tetra SafeStart has just arrived also so was wondering If I should add some of that aswell? even though the water tests are all saying the nitrite etc are fine. I'm new to tropical fish so need some advice please on what to do
