i replaced the heater with a new one, couldnt regulate the temp properly for a couple of days, and the temp soared to above 30 and looked like cooked most of my ramshorns
my pond snails had went up out of the water and were above the water line and so they survived.
one of my shrimp also survived 2 days in cold water when no heater was on, and the 2-3 days when new heater put the temp up.
the temp has now stabilised at 25, and has been this way for 4 days.
i removed the dead snails, and did a wc and params were amm 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 5
so i went and bought 5 guppies yesterday to keep the tank cycled until i got a fahaka in the near future
this morning, 2 guppies dead. no marks on then?
my params are the same 0,0,5, ph 7.6 using api test kit
is there something else in my tank thats causing the deaths? the shrimp is fine. been in there about 2 weeks, the pond snails are in the snail breeding tank now, and are in that water looking better.
other 3 guppies seem ok, only time will tell?
my tank doesnt smell weird or anything, the water is clear etc
only thing i can think of, is that something is leeching out of the rocks i got from the beach? same rocks are in my bw tank, and fish are all great.
any ideas?!
