Hi,

My two and a half week old bristlenose fry keep dying, i had approximately 60-70 now i have roughly 30 left, they where in a 65litre tank.
Ph 7.4
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
Nitrate 20
With 10-20% water changed evey 2-3 days and a 25-50% water change and gravel vacume every Saturday.
The ones who have died seemed to have swollen stomachs, and become darker then the others. I fed them algea wafer and cucumber.

Ive recently moved the rest into a fry saver and into my 150litre tank, only a few have died since them.

Any ideas on what could be happening to them and what i could do to precent them from dying, this is my first spawn so im not that experienced and i dont want anymore of them dying
 
How often have you been feeding them cucumber? Sounds like it could be bloat...
 
To be honest 30 sounds fine. It's impossible to keep them all alive.
