Fish Died After Adding New Substrate

[BKyler]

I can't answer that question. The test showed 0 ammonia.

You aren't removing the chlorine in the new water when you do a water change ?

 

[BKyler]

I'm adding Seachem Prime to the water in the aquarium when I do a water change.

 

[FattyFish]

BKyler, do you have an update? Is it getting any clearer after a few days?

 

[BKyler]

I did a water change yesterday and changed the light settings and it's a little better, still a little cloudy; however, another dead fish this morning.

 

[BKyler]

Aquarium looking better; unfortunately another dead tiger barb.

 

[FattyFish]

How's your tank now?

Have the only victims been Tiger Barbs? How many did you start with?

 

[BKyler]

One tiger barb was terrorizing the other tiger barbs and killing them. Now that all the tiger barbs are gone everything is calm in the aquarium.

 

[BKyler]

How's your tank now?

Now that the tiger barbs are all gone everything is calm and the water is crystal clear.

That's precisely why I asked. This is a very common and unfortunate scenario.

Sadly, you lost fish...but I'm glad the water has cleared, and you are left with a peaceful tank.
