a "fish hater"
Logic broke after I returned home from school today. My Herald's Angel was dead on the ground (gravel). I quickly examined the other fish, and they appeared to be listless and heavily breathing. This is very odd; I have 2 large filters in there and a powerhead pointed at the surface to increase aeration in the increasing summer heat. Well, my Blue Devil is turning, and my Maroon Clown looks like he might be next. So I thought that it could be ammonia, or somehow excessive heat (temperature 78 degrees F).
But get this- the Heraldi showed no signs of disease or any type of poisoning; he was in pristine condition- but moreover, I have a Chocolate chip Starfish in there and he has shown absolutely no signs of deterioration. And bristleworms have been going awol all day.
I recently did a water change and vacuumed up much debris. I thought this would help them, but it has appeared to hinder them. I am worried. I need help. I do not know my ammonia or nitrite levels, but pH is normal. Remember, my starfish, who cannot tolerate these sorts of things, is perfectly fine.
