I'm in Planted School.
Tank size: 75g
pH: 7.2
ammonia: 0
nitrite:0
nitrate:10
kH:
gH:
tank temp: 76-77
Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior):
1 apistogramma dead
1 of my new apistogrammas looks as if it has pop-eye. Unlike the other 4, it's eyes are quite bulged out.
A different apistogramma is flashing.
Another one is hanging out near the surface.
2 of the 4 kuhlis are swimming wildly and pale.
Cories are being a little wild {but thats normal, so may not indicate anything}
1 Angelfish is quite skittish and slightly clamped compared to the other.
Volume and Frequency of water changes: Today I did a little over 75%. Last night I did 25%. I usually do a weekly 50%.
Chemical Additives or Media in your tank: Estimative Index dosing and pressurized co2. Today I added CSM+B. Just to cover this point however, there's no way it was an oxygen problem. I am no where close to reaching the co2 levels that are safe, I turned it down last week after the first death just in case, and am slowly working back up. Same with the ferts.
Tank inhabitants: 4 apistogramma, 2 angelfish, 4 kuhli loaches, 4 Metea cory, 9 Harlequin Rasboras
Recent additions to your tank (living or decoration): Everything is new. Plants. Fish. everything. All added about 2 weeks ago.
Exposure to chemicals:
I don't know what to do. I have ich in another tank which as everyone tries to say, I'm pretty sure came in on an already infected group of tetras. I have been very very careful not to cross contaminate the tanks. The apisto with what looks like pop eye was like that when we got her. The apisto that died was only here for 3 days.

The apisto was flashing this morning and the kuhli's are still being wild. One apisto is still hovering up under my water pump. Any ides what I should do? We did those big water changes so I'm starting to wonder if the fish are sick, instead of worrying if its the water. I have ich medicine and melafix available, but can go get something if those wont help.
