Grrrrrrr.... I am getting angry.
I put in a new aquarium and I can't get the water balanced. The fish keep dying and the water goes from clear to cloudy to clear again!
Any of you who keep fish got any ideas?
Here is what I've checked so far;
1. The water is well aged, so no CL
2. The pH is 7 Perfectly neutral
3. The tank is only set up for a couple of days so overfeeding isn't an issue. Besides, I used to breed several different species when I was a kid, so I know how much to feed.
4. I've tested for Nitrates and for Nitrites. All normal
5. The fish come from healthy tanks as do the plants.
6. No plastics inside the tank other than the intake tube for a large filter. I've changed the filter material several times.
7. Fish food is a mix of TetraMin flakes and freeze dried tubifex worms, a combination I've fed for years.
So why are the fish continuing to die?
