I just put 3 damsels into my newly cycled tank (the ammonia spike, nitrite spike, and the whole lot went well, if not quickly - 1.5 weeks only), and within 12 hours I have lost 2 of them. The third looks ok, but compared to the other 2, anything does! Any idea what may have caused this? Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 10-20, pH 8.2, Salinity 1.023, temp 76. Very confused at why this has happened.
Now, given this is the case, do I leave the fish in the tank (will this effectively recyle the tank with a more hardy ammonia spike?), or do I take them out?
Please help. Also, I have a lot of very small white "things" crawling around on the glass and are also swimming around. No idea what they are - help is appreciated on this also. Thank you!
