90gal, aquaclear 500, cycled, 1 yr running with
small airstone with a small airpump. 3 p. Zebra 3" 2 Red Zebra 1" 1 yellow Lab 3" 2 featherfin catfish 10 Julidochromis transcriptus gombi. Eventually the Julies multiplied and multiplied, at one point I had almost 50 including about 12 babies. I went on vacation, let someone take care of fish, when I came back there were 3 or 4 julies lying dead on the bottom. Some had been partially decomposed and were wrapped around the filter intake, but filter was still flowing. I immediately removed the dead ones, but ever since then 1 or 2 are dying every day for over a week now. I do 30% water changes every 2 days, that didn't help a bit. I always age my water 24hours with an airstone in a big 55gallon bucket. All the Julies keep dying, there are only 5 left. Strangely enough none of the other fish are dying, but they don't seem happy. What is going on I've checked the water 3 times this week and keep getting good numbers, here they are. PH 7.8 Ammo 0.1ppm NO2 0.1ppm NO3 5ppm GH 80ppm KH 50ppm temp 77 Could the dead cadavres cause the water to be poisoned but not measureable on any of my testers? Could the Ammo spike have happened already and as a result fish die weeks later? Are the Julies wealer fish or are they genetically weak from inbreeding? None of the other fish are dying. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ....Kodiak |
