A good 10 or so

No its 300 Litres, and combi system so directly from the mains

I'll set up the bubbles

Can black skirt tetra or yoyo loaches kill guppies? Could be another theory? Edit: although 2 sword tail and one big platy on the death list so this is unlikely as they'd almost match the size of black skirt tetra

I believe they came from another fish tank, I bought all on marketplace. The wood does decompose but that's a natural process? I'm not too sure whether that'll cause issues? However when i got those 2 plants off ebay I did notice a few snails in the tank

My filter makes enough oxygen, a lot of surface movement. And yes you're right it's 300L don't know why I said gallons because I meant Litres

I had two new floating plants come in from Ebay when it all started, like I said it was fine for two months prior. Only thing I can link it to? But yeah that's what I'm hoping it just burns itself out

Bump, any ideas

25c and this is my filter. https://www.allpondsolutions.co.uk/2500lh-2500if/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAz9ieBhCIARIsACB0oGK_9V9Mjl50iUxvawlblyofZnMeBn0TdYA6M_POHZ89iDuDz_g9kFsaAvS-EALw_wcB Yes I clean the filter media

300 gals approx, 4ft. And they become a bit lethargic then die

Do some rocks cause deaths? As I've got a large bit of slate, and some rocks I collected from a beach (years ago) have been washed and sterilised multiple times before putting in.. did the vinegar test also

The source of nitrates are high, so wouldn't achieve that much. And I've got a couple of floating plants, duckweed etc.. I don't think that's the problem here tbh. Nitrates are a different topic I've discussed before

3/4 months, weekly at about 30% but sometimes I do 50%, and my GH is about 320 or 19 German degrees, and API masters test kit. I know my Nitrates are high, and potentially before a water change raising to 40/50 PPM but that's the tap water I'm dealing with it shouldn't be killing fish at this rate

As posted previously I'm still getting dead fish, I'm out of ideas now? I'm a relatively new fish keeper and was doing fine for the first 2 months and now I've had 12 fish deaths (9 guppies, 2 red eyed long fin sword tails, 1 platy) some prior symptoms are low energy, hovering near the top and...

I'll look into this, thanks

I've got quite a lot of floating plants, and yeah I could but that's still expensive

So my tap water contains 30PPM nitrates, which isn't ideal when doing water changes. I have used Abbeysdad 'nitrazorb filtering process' and although pain stakingly slow i was getting tap water at 0ppm nitrates but after 900 gallons it's spent.. so I recharged with salt water for a week (as...

Maybe an illness then?

https://streamable.com/9uic2t Video here, you maybe able to pick up on strange behaviours

The only thing I can think of recently changing is buying some floating plants off ebay and somehow duck weed establishing itself not long after, but I was fairly happy with that as it'll only add to the cycling process

It's not after a water change, and my tap water is 0-ammonia 0-nitrite 30ppm-Nitrate straight from the tap, i try use nitrazorb filtering process to remove nitrates from tap water prior to water changes but its a slow process so had to use 50% filtered and 50% tap water in my last 75% water...

Two more deaths, I've tested my water after last week's water change it's reading 0PPM - Ammonia 0PPM - Nitrite 15PPM - Nitrate Yes I know Nitrate isn't perfect but wouldn't be killing fish at this rate? I don't think I have any aggressive fish and I feed fish a pinch every couple of days

I've had two more deaths after the water change, I'm starting to suspect it's an illness?

I can't get shrimp because my water is very hard, I'm toying with getting a nano plec. Also the only chemicals I add is tetra aqua safe to filter chlorine etc out my tap water.

More pics, can lead plant holders leech nitrate?

Okay ill remove it, I usually keep the lights on from 8am-9pm I use a 3ft t8 bulb and it's pretty intense, I can't give you an accurate reading on nitrite as since I've done a 75% water change but I'll keep an eye on that. My tap water is 30ppm of Nitrate so I use a filter process to remove them

So I use nitra zorb to get nitrates out my tap water as its about 30ppm straight from the ta Thanks, I haven't added anything new fish or chemical wise

I've answered this on all previous posts and use your nitra zorb filtration process. I didn't test for Nitrite as if ammonia is 0 surely it means I've not going Nitrite? And I do usually do a 30% change weekly but I've had a hectic few weeks so just left it.

Weird thing is I have other platies and guppies and they appear to be fine?

Just green algae on all the wall, I've cleaned the front and left it on the other sides but I've noticed some dark green/black type mold that's growing on a plant could this also be a factor. I've attached some photos, excuse the mess I'm in the process of a 75% water change
