Jason A. Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 So I've started to loose my cardinals I've noticed my ph is a little high around 7.4-7.8 and I know my kh is little light, had a hard time getting my nitrite to cycle till I raised my kh and now I'm losing 1-2 cardinals every couple of days . I have video of one of my cardinals floating across the substrate and twitching and trying to live but ultimately died, I don't know how to post the video here. I see no signs of illness in my cardinals or other fish and other water parameters look fine. Any advice and suggestions are welcomed.

Wingman12r Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Did the tank complete it's cycle? Nitrite poisoning would better explain the death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason A. Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 Just checked my water again and all is good but ph and I did my kh test again and seems to be 0-50ppm but when I test my gh it doesn't register, I've added as much as 30 drops and no reaction, my tap water takes 6 drops. Tomorrow I'm going to do a 25% water change I'm hoping that won't stress and kill the rest of my fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
