Hi all, this is my first post here, I will make it quick.
I have a 38gal, still have plants fairing well. It was established 6 months ago. About 1 month ago , fish started dieing.
I had 2 dwarf cychlids, 2 gourami, 4 barbs, 3 swordtail, 5 shrimp, 1 ruby tail shark.
The 1 cychlid was last to die. All that is left is one barb, two swordtail, and the shrimp.
I have white silica like sand, and one pourous boulder, which is full of green algae.
Could my high ph level be because of the rock or the sand. Tank has no gravel, sand only. ( I got it like that from a friend two years ago).
This was the second attempt at maintaining a tank.
20% water change every two weeks. Feeding once daily at 4pm, and light is on 10hrs a day, 10am-8pm.
Thanks for the space.
