I added a bunch of plants to my tank yesterday evening, performed a 40% water change, added Flourish, flourish trace, and flourish excel at the recommended dosages. I also added a small powerhead, and reduced the surface agitation of my spray-bar. When I got up this morning my two pictus cats were stiff as boards and just as dead! I tested the water and this is what I have:
before the additions-PH 7.4-6 Nitrate 5 ,gh 5.6 dhdegrees, KH 2.4 degrees
after_- PH 7.2 NO3 5, Phosphate 0, KH 2.24, Ammonia 0 , NO2 0
calcium is 20ppm, Iron is reading at 0 (chelated and non-chelated).
Any Ideas? The rest of the fish appear fine, even the Ottos.
TIA
