Hi can somebody help me with problem with some unions fish deaths. I have recently made a paludarium (picture shown in my profile) and introduced some Chili Raspora about 4 weeks after adding the water. After about a week they started disappearing about every other day and now there is none left after a couple of weeks. There is also a bristlenose catfish and cherry shrimp on there that seem fine. I cannot find any fish corpses in the tank but havenāt seen any sign of them so assuming they must be dead. I have tested my water again today to get the following results:
- ammonia 0.25mg/l
- gh 180mg/l
- kh 120mg/l
- ph 7.5
- No2 0mg/l
- N03 0mg/l
FYI I am new to keeping aquariums so my knowledge isnāt amazing although I have tried to do as much research as possible online and advice from stores etc. looking at the test results I know the water is very high on the āhardā side so Iām presuming this might be the issue I need to sort? Any advice would be much appreciated cheers.
Regards Smithdog.
