I am trying to figure out why my two Firemouth Cichlids have died in
the past 3 months. I am afraid it might be the result of the water,
somehow. I have tested it, and found the following:
pH = 7.0
N02 = <0.3 mg/L
GH = 7 dH
KH = 14 dH
NH3 / NH4 = 0 mg/L
I know that my KH is high, but that is the result of the pH buffer
that I use. None of my other fish (tiger barbs, pleco) have had any
problems in this tank. This tank has been set up for a year now, and
is well established.
Anyone have any ideas???
