Fish Fanatic
Ok, I'm in week 4 with a 30 gal tank.
I've kept up a good amount of water changes. Ph is 7.4. Ammonia is 1.0. Nitrites barely registering... I'll call it .10.
I put 6 tiger barbs in after the 1st week.
2 have died for no apparent reason. The fish are eating well. They are active as I assume tiger barbs should be. I see no signs of any kind of external disease or stress.
Someone already mentioned checking my water hardness which I don't have a test kit for yet.
The only thing I can think of is maybe something is in my tap water??? Or, these are PetSmart fish and I was there today and noticed *A LOT* of dead fish including a tiger barb.
Any ideas? Thanks.
