Hi all.
I'm new to tropical fishkeeping and before getting fish I ran a fishless cycle.
That lasted a month and a halfish.
Have had fish for about 3 weeks now.
I had barbs, an albino plec, albino Congo tetra, and a red tailed black shark.
The barbs nipped the tetras fins so I gave them away, bit they never bovered pleccy.
Sharky did used to try and eat/suck on the plecs tail but I haven't noticed him do that recently.
Fish tank readings:
ammonia: 0
nitrite: 0
nitrate: 10
ph: 7.5ish
not sure of the hardness.
Could it be that it's too alkaline? Or what?
Please help, his tail ( and no other fin, just the plecs tail ) is deteriorating away fast
thanks in advance, Joshua.
