DrwHem Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I have a 60 gallon planted aquarium. I try to maintain about 78 degrees and i have a light setting that only has white/green/red light from about 9:30 to 3:30. My last test strips didnt really reveal any issues other than very slightly high nitrates. The ph seems to be around 6. I have 8 tiger barbs 1 Rainbow Shark 6 neon tetras 8 red danio 4 otto cats 2 nerite snails Over the last 3 days 2 of my 6 khuli loaches have died somehow and are just curled up out in the open. im not sure what the issue is. one is currently curled up right now but still breathing and will probably be dead shortly. None of the other fish seem to be having issues and i have already done about a 10 gallon water change and added 10 ml of API stress coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBOzzie59 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Have they been eating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSH OUTDOORS Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 My first thought is the MURDER BARBS, sorry i mean tiger barbs. Have you noticed any aggression? I don't specifically feed my Kuhlis but they find enough after it gets through the guppies and Cory cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrwHem Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 i did notice one of the barbs chasing one of the loaches that make the mistake of squirming around in the open. i try to overfeed a bit to make sure some food gets to the bottom and i also dropped a mini algae wafer the other day. cant tell if they are actively eating or not.
