So long story short...I spent a good 2 months testing the water every day until the cycle was finally complete...waited a week while the 12 hour testing was going on and it finished with great results. However our first trip to the LPS was fun and we bought 3 glofish and a small pleco. It is a 10 gallon tank and yes I know the pleco will out grow it but that was the reason I was going to use to purchase a nice big tank!! Anyways...the pleco and the 3 glofish looked very happy in their new home after i PROPERLY transferred them to the new tank. However I woke up the next day to the pleco passed and one of the glofish showing signs of weakness. 1 by 1 the other 2 went. Sorry for the bad grammar but im in a hurry but wanted to post this before i left to maybe start getting some feedback. I then tested the tank to see if anything was wrong...0.0 Am / 0.0 Ni/ 25 Na and the pH was 7.2 with a water temp of 76/78 F. After letting the tank sit for a day we went ahead and purchased just 3 cardinal tetras and 3 glofish since they were on sale at the LPS and they have lasted much longer this time around however all of the tetras passed fairly quickly within 2 days and 1 of the glofish already passed Again checked the water and everything seems in order...did a water change and vacuumed the gravel before adding these fish as well...I am clueless and can see why people get frustrated and end up giving the hobby up but I refuse because this is something I want to do for the rest of my life. Its so relaxing to come home and just watch the fish in a nice calm atmosphere. Anyways...please help any help is appreciated and I would love to keep these last 2 glofish alive!
