Hi everyone.
Iām absolutely baffled as to what is going on with my fish. I have two tanks, one for guppies and one for guppy fry. I bought two new filters to put in my tanks yesterday, so I kept the original filters in the tanks, and just added the new filters as well. Anyway, I noticed a few hours afterwards all of my fish were acting strange, all gasping at the surface.
They were like this all night. Anyway, I woke up this morning and 4 of my guppy fry were dead, the rest have clamped fins and look close to death, and all the adults are still gasping at the top.
Iām so confused, all my water params are perfect, my tanks are fully cycled too. I donāt have bubblers in them but I make sure the filters cause enough disruption at the surface to make oxygen. Thereās never seemed to have been a problem with oxygen since I started the tanks up 6 months ago so I donāt think itās to do with that.
It all seems to be since I put the new filters in!!! I donāt understand, I even rinsed them in tank water before I submerged them in the tank. Iāve changed the water in both tanks now, and theyāre still gasping at the top. Iām absolutely confused, had this happened to anyone else?
Thank you
