Fish Crazy
To start, i have a 40gal, got it from a pet store going out of business a few weeks back, and transfered my fish to it slowly, the right way, and after it had cycled. (The media was already mature as it was from an old filter of mine and an old filter of the shops so it cycled quick). Ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate can not possibly be the issue as ammonia is 0ppm nitrite is 0ppm and nitrate is just 10 ppm.
The past couple of days i have seen 8 fish die and i have no idea why!!!!! At first i thought it was my bully fish because i have one sivertip tetra that chases and stresses other tetras, but today i saw my angel and my panda cory dead!! along with yet another tetra!!!! This has to be a disease or something! what do i do?!?!? helppppp!!!!
Also, before i had 2 cories die, i noticed both had some pretty beat up looking fins, maybe due to disease, maybe due to this bully tetra, but i feel its unlikely as nothing ever really messes with cories...
NEVER had this sort of problem in my 15gal, even though it was usually overstocked
Tank size: 40 US gal
pH:7
