CT_ Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I lost a medaka today out of my tub pond. and one is unaccounted for. I added them in maybe 4-6 weeks ago, and they started out unhappy. a water change later they same fine but didn't want to eat flake from the surface. now two of them are eating one is missing, one is a runt but still fine, and this one is dead. Two weeks ago I added white cloud MMs into my tub as well. two days ago i found a ton of fry. Does anyone have any theories about why this guy died? below are some photos of my parameters. I don't believe the pH because the co-op strips already read between 6.4 and 6.8 for me even when other methods all say high 7s. I'm also really skeptical there's chlorine in there because I haven't added water in weeks, and when I did I used prime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBOzzie59 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Somebody accidently splash some bleach in it? Are those parameters repeatable with multiple strips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
