I bought 3 Long-Fin Zebra Danios from Petco on Tuesday. As of today (Thurs) all three have died. The first was dead as soon as he got in my tank. The second either died on its own or fell prey to a crawfish. Either way, when I came in that morning the crawfish was having a meal. (He's been removed) This morning, the third one died rather quickly. He was fine earlier today, but suddenly started floating upside down and sinking to the bottom. I noticed that his left eye was bloodshot. Petco, of course, blames this on my 7.9 pH varying from their 7. What do you guys think? My 4 neon tetras and 2 oto cats seem to be doing great!
I tested the water this morning:
Ammonia - 0
Nitrates - 0
Nitrites - 0 (but getting darker)
pH - 7.9
