three dead lemon tetras: poisoned by fert?
has anyone ever heard of fish being poisoned by fertilizer tabs? How about
hygro of swords being harmful to lemon tetras? I'm just trying to eliminate my plants as the sudden cause of death for all three of my two year old lemon tetras.

I'm assuming by your question that you've recently added fertilizer. Were there other changes? How much, and what type of fertilizer did you add?

I'm assuming by your question that you've recently added fertilizer. Were there other changes? How much, and what type of fertilizer did you add? the plants were the new addition. each sword got a single tab (i don't have the bottle, i split the container) broken into the rock wool of an iron fertilizer from germany. I think however that i have solved the mystery: 80 degrees and a sluggish pump, just for a short time, probably not a great mix. I didn't figure it out till later wheni noticed even the pleco going up for air... i'm so embarrised. we've had a mini heat wave and i didn't even think about it. the tank has les milifolium than it did, and there for less available o2, even if the higher temp could have held it. I do still need to know more about fertilizing in general, so i will probably lurk and ask the occasional question. thanks for the quick reply!

I am unfamiliar with the lifespan of lemon tetras, but current thinking is that cardinal tetras are essentially annual fish in the wild: only a few percent outlive the season of their birth.
