Hey guys. Sadly, this morning I found 1 of my yoyo loaches dead. I noticed last night that only 2 were out front and center at feeding time, I assumed the other 1 was being lazy under his favorite cave. Later on, after the lights were out I didnt really see much activity from any of the fish. Normally all of them are out scavaging, thought maybe they were all resting after dinner.
This morning I knew something was wrong when only 2 came out when the lights came on. So I took everything out, and there he was in his favorite cave. He still had some color, no visible fight marks or any kind of marks/redness, but was very stiff and had a fuzzy ball around his head to his gills. I did a little over a 50% water change, cleaned the sand, filter etc.
I am very worried about the other fish, should I do daily water changes, medications? Im not a huge fan of adding things to my tanks, but will if need be.
55 gallon running for 6-7 months-mildly planted
1 Angelfish
5 female platy/2 male platy
3 (now 2) yoyo loaches
BN pleco
Ive had the yoyos for about a year, bought them at the same time.
All the others were added around the end of August. Nothing new has been added in at least the 2 months.
Nitrites 0
Ammonia 0
Nitrates 20
Temp is constant 78.
I'm sorry if ive missed anything!! Has anyone else experianced something like this?
