Hey, thanks for reply.

Done another water test and again nothing to make me think it's the water. The rts is going into a bigger tank later this week a 4ftx2ftx2ft (sorry I don't use gallons) though he is still fairly small. Still no clue as to why my gibbicep has died- though thinking it may be rts related. Colour has come back to all but 1 of the bn.tetras and 1 of the neon tetras, one of which i have noticed has a crooked spine (which I've only seen with harlequins).

The newest fish in the tank are the columbians, is it possible THEY could be stressing the others out?

I unfortuatly don't have another tropical tank to seperate sick fish into, but am treating with aqua.salt.

Thanks again for help

No, she means columbian redfin tetras.

It being clean isn't the point, if you've got ammonia/nitrite readings then it's obviously not coping well. Did you look at the all pond solution internals I showed you? They are quite cheap for what they are, and if you don't like fluvals...

I had a look, but got the elite free before I bought one- can you tell me the name of them again?

These ones, the 600l/h one would be perfect, you can choose between venturi and spray bar, and for a tenner (and free delivery) - what's not to like! Forgive me for pouring scorn on the Elite filters, but they are really pap!
