Fish Fanatic
A week ago, I had 3 male Endler's, 6 female and 2 babies in my 38 litre tank. Today, I'm down to 3 females. The first two deaths seemed unprovoked, there was nothing as far as I could tell wrong with them. The third looked like she was giving birth (she was pregnant).
I do a 40% water change once a week, and I've been treating the tank with myxazin since the first one died to see if that would work. The tank has:
NO3 = 10ppm
NO2 = 0ppm
pH = 7.6
I don't understand how to read total hardness and carbonate hardness, but they seem to be:
total hardness = >14º
carbonate hardness = 10º
(But I have no idea what these mean. Can anybody enlighten me?)
I've lost the measuring part of my ammonia kit, so I don't know that, but I regularly clean out, gravel vac thoroughly, wash filter material.
Any ideas what is killing my fish?
Thanks
James
