I have a 50 gallon corner tank that has been set up since late November. It was cycled when I added fish. It currently has 3 angelfish, 6 corycats, a beta, and 2 redfinned tetras. My numbers are:
ph 7
ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 15
temp 76
I have not seen any aggresion within the tank. An occasional chase, but no fighting. I did a water change Monday, and all was well. It has been a busy week. Friday I did a headcount, and could not find one of my favorite angels. Finally found her dead. She had been dead a while. So I could not really tell anything from her body. I did have three ottos in there about six weeks ago, two are gone. The remaining one I moved to a tank with lots of algea, and he is great. (Maybe lonely, but has plenty to eat.) I did lose one corycat shortly after adding some about six weeks ago. I assume he was not healthy to begin with. I have a souple of low light plants, fake plants, and some other decorations. I have not changed any decorations recently. I use conditioner for the water. Not prime, haven't gotten that brand yet. I use the same buckets for water changes. I cannot think of anything that caused her to die. Thanks for any feedback.
On I think an unrelated not, I had an issue with ick in two other tanks. They have been sucessfully treated with advice from this site. And my angel tank has shown no signs of ick. Thanks again.
