Hi all,
We have a 25 litre tank which was working fine with me rotating 25% of the water every 2 weeks. the pump stopped and the water "greened" up - so I completely replaced the water, I used a water softner, let it run for a couple of hours and popped the fish back into a nice clean tank.
Everything was fine for 24hrs - the fish in there were.
1 x Albino Corydora
2 x Danio's
2 x goldfish
lots of snails...
We added 2 x blue neon tetra and 2 x yellow tuxedo guppies 24hrs later. When adding the fish I put a little of the water from the petshop in the tank (under half cup) and then the next day one of the yellow tuxedo guppies seemed to have lost some tissue from his tail (looking almost skeletal like) and was very listless, later that night the tuxedo died and oddly one of the long established fish also died (a danio)
Then to our horror the next night (last night) one of the neon blue tetra's had died and another one of the long established gold fish.
I have tested the PH, anmonia, nitrates etc with my usual kit and the levels are in the normal ranges. The lad in the shop put a little aloe vera in the water when we transported the 2 neon tetra and guppies back. a little of this water went in the tank.
All advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
Dave.
