I'll continue monitoring my levels to see if the Ammonia keeps rising.
The first one that died yesterday was probably dead in the tank for at
least half of the day when I was at work. The second for not very
long.
====================
I hope you're not bringing them home and putting them into your tank without
acclimating them to your water conditions. We used to call that PH shock
but more is involved that others can better explain. There is one store
that has a PH of 6.6 to 6.8 and their water is very soft. If I just add
fish from there to my Quarantine tank (everything gets quarantined here)
with it's high alkalinity, hardness and PH of 7.8, I am almost guaranteed to
lose most of them.
