Hahaha not looking forward to the bill but priority now is the fish. Will pick up an aerator and tub today. However can confirm water temps were exactly the same at 5am as they were at 9pm last night maybe even a 0.5C higher this morning compared to last night.your power bill is gonna be huge
My old man cleaned the tank. Unsure what chemicals he used. I thoroughly wash my hands before handling the aquarium with hand soap and rinsing for 30 seconds.If the temperature is staying the same and sitting on 26C, then that isn't the problem. It could be poisoning if there is a contaminant in the tank.
Did you use anything to wash the tank out with when you got it?
Did you use clean buckets when washing the gravel?
Does anyone have anything on their hands (moisturising cream, perfume, hand sanitiser, grease, etc) that might have washed off into the water?
You could try doing a 75% water change but get some aeration into the container first, and make sure the new water is free of chlorine/ chloramine before it's added to the tank.
He rinsed it thoroughly with tap water only then let dry in the sun. Just checked on the remainder of the fish. All alive, swimming as usual and eating. Small Endler female is looking well aswell. Temperature of the water has remained consistent around 27-28C. Will be moving the aquarium indoors in a couple of days.Ask you dad what (if anything) he used to clean the tank with
so it’s been 4 days without any further casualty. Tested hardness of water GH is 200ppm. All other parameters have stayed stable. Nitrate hasn’t really moved from 10ppm. No signs of ammonia or nitrite.
4 days ago added another 100w heater to help stabilise temperature in the tank. Lowered temps to 26-27C from 28C. And added a cover for the top of the tank. Fish are swimming between columns happily. Platys love swimming into the flow from the outlet. And the tiniest female endler is freely swimming with the Platys.
Thankyou to everyone who helped with advice. Unfortunately I busted my shoulder playing soccer. So unable to move the tank indoors. Temperature over the next week is a little warmer than last week. So I believe the heaters should be able to cope (parents power bill not so much). Will move the tank indoors once my shoulder recovered and parents are back from their little holiday.
