update
Angel is getting huge...gummy tetras are fine and so is the lone kuli loach...
Bad news cory died from the fizzy tab treatment just a few days after treatment was switched to salt...male guppy died 2 months ago... female is sideways about to die now and the female platy did the same routine about 2 weeks ago (also dead). No noted abnormaities in the female guppy , but the male guppy got contorted and hunchbacked before he died...The female guppy that is about to die is just laying a bit sideways and breathing...she swims when bumped with he net , but isn't eatting... \
The male platy is looking "slimmer" and while he DOES eat...I see him hanging on the bottom like the other fish have done.... The thing is, the angel and tetras seem fine... WHAT COULD AFFECT PLATTYS AND GUPPYS ALONE?
BTW:
The platy female was a bit clamped finned before she died, but the male doesn't seem to have the same appearence.
I have kept the PH a bit on the low side to ward off ammonium build up and so
The PH was 6.2 yesterday... I did a 30% water change and got it to 7.0-7.2 today and the Nitrites are zero and have been since the cycle finished months ago...
I haved a gazillion snails off some java moss I put in when the cycle was finishing (what to do with them all?)
and the java grass had to be chopped in half as it was everywhere! I tossed half out and the angel seemed to get "nicer" as there was a bit more room...
QUESTION:
What could be hurting the platty and guppies but not the angel and tetras? also is it cruel to get rid of the snails? There are tons and tons of them adn while the glass has never been cleaner, the tank is just peppered with them...they are soooooooo many!
