I'd seen one female pretending to become the queen but she's not too aggressive since my queen B died everyone wants to b queen now. I don't see bullying being the problem. The nitrates looks to b the killer.

Wash n rinse everything but mostly I will get rid of the black coal sand that is still in the tank bcause there might still be some garden dirt mixed in there causing the nitrates go crazy so I will...
