First Tank

[Comacchio]

Another neon has died. Again no ammonia or nitrite. So much for fishless cycling stopping deaths!

Well I was down to 1 platy, 3 neons, 6 harlequins, 5 panda corys, 2 keyholes, 2 plecs until my cousin gave me his unwanted platys (1 male, 1 gravid female and 1 juvenile female).

Hopefully the dying will stop since I cant work out why!

Any chemicals being exposed to tank?

Did you buy them all from the same place?

What happens before they die?

Your ammonia and nitrite levels are 0 - so it is something else.

Added way more plants, rescaped a little and 1 Harlequin started doing loop the loops and died?!

What are your nitrates like? Loops can be a symptom of nitrate poisoning( it can be many other things too though!).

Have you noticed any changes on the other fish that died before they died?

 

[Comacchio]

Nitrates are around 30ppm. Nope no symptoms other than waking up to find them on the sand! This recent harlequin is the first one in about 5 days.
