Dead Tetra

[Gemmylou]

One of my silver tetras died today

 

[Smoothy]

Awww ... sorry to hear that

 

[Gemmylou]

Thanks. It looked quite poorly he past couple of days all the others are thriving though so its a bit weird.

 

[Smoothy]

How old was he/she?

 

[Gemmylou]

I bought it just before christmas at pets at home. I have a chinese algae eater who is normally really docile but hes been a bit scaredy at the mo so i hope he didn't harrass the tetra. I would be so sad to get rid of the algae eater hes such a funny little thing but I know that they have a reputation.

Another one has just died infront of my eyes now i know i'm in trouble. Uncle is coming over tomorrow with every chemical and test imaginable to try save my chaps.

What are your water stats?

Any sign of disease?

ph isnt that important, were more interested in ammonia, nitrAte and nitrIte stats
