so I got home from work today and noticed my osacr dead scaleless and eyeless, tells me hes been in there for a while. he hasn't been showing any symptoms of stress or anything. tomorrow is weekly w/c day but im going to move it to today since ammonia is 1.0!!!
so here are params
ammonia 1.0
8.0 ph
0-0.5 rite
0-5 rates
not sure whats goin on with the params with all the plants and my weekly w/c's anyone have any insight? only thing that is added to the tank is the recommended dose of excel and x1 flourish a week. the substrate is not vaccumed when I do w/c and I take atelast 50% when I do them. params were perfect yesterday and now all this ammonia? thinking its from the dead fish being in there all day? but I thought plants used ammonia... hmm im puzzled. the tests were the apis but there about a year or so old and were shaken vigorously b4 test. the tank mates are various African cichlids, I know different parmas and such but never even saw a hint he was stressed. yea there is some fighting but its everyone in the tank not all on one fish.
plants seem to be ok but a dead fish with no previous symptoms???
