Dying Gobies

[Melsteele321]

Hi,

I really need some help I have some fresh water blue neon gobies (well did have) only one left now! I started with 5 two climb out the tank .... put a tight lid on... then over the past few days I have had two gobies die on me ...

Water parameters
Ammonia -0
Nitrite -0
Nitrate -5ppm
KH -6 dh
PH-7.3
GH - 6DH

I have had them checked as well at the shop and they are correct.... my tank has been established for about 2 months ....

The gobbies were got about 3 weeks ago... I only have one left and don't want to buy anymore to keep him company until I sort out this issue

Tank 38litres
Other fish... 5 cardinal tetra, 3 guppies and 5 green shrimp

The shrimp seem to be doing really well.... I am worried that the gobbies didn't seem to be eating

i'm sad to hear it - do you know of any reason that the other 2 died?

I had 5, two climbed out of the tank when I first got them (didn't realise they could do this) and the other two were found dead in the tank. One today and one on Sunday .... I am wondering myself why the other two have died in the tank ..hence looking for some advice.. my water parameters seem OK (I think)

These fish need a turnover of 10-15 times tank volume per hour and well oxyganated water.
