We need to know what your water parameters are (ammonia,nitrite,nitrate).jammy said:Progress is not good!?! :help:
In the end we put in a Bristlenose Catfish and 6 Neon Tetras. (recommendation from the Fish Shop who did not have Danios). However, we checked in a book in the shop and this seemed OK.
We put them in yesterday lunchtime. 2 Neons died this morning. First each one separated from the group and after 15 mins or so, swum to the surface. He looked to be panting. Then he stopped swimming.
Took water to the shop and they replaced the fish (Water was checked and no problems found. They said it was not the water).
This afternoon 2 more died the same way. 4 left seem OK. Had the water checked at a different store and confirmed that it was not the water.
Not sure what to do now except wait and see. Don't want to put any more in really until we understand what is wrong.
Any ideas please?
I would suggest getting a quality testing kit,the one from Aquarium Pharmaceutical is a good one,and the one I use.
We won't be able to help you untill we know your water parameters.
