Nik_n Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Hello Over the last two days two of my bristelnose pleco females have died. It was very sudden and surprising, since they didn't show any sign of sickness and were actively breeding after new years. I had two spawns from the fish in less then a month but I noticed there was no breeding since then. I feed them algae waffers as well as zucchini. Both had some nipped fins but neither had any fungus or showed any difficulty swimming. The water perimeters Temp:27°C, NO2:10-15ppm, NO3: 0, ph=7.6, gh: 4-7° kh:15° The other fish seem fine, I will do a large water change tomorrow afternoon.

Guppysnail Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Are you certain they were nipped? Was there ammonia. If nipped what else is with them or have they shown any aggression towards one another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik_n Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 It definitely looks as if they were nipped. I'm assuming the angles did that, but I didn't think much of it as it happened before but healed up really quickly. I didn't do an ammonia test (ran out need to get some new ones ASAP) but the male is completely fine and so are the other fish. Did a large water change today (2/3) and did a gravel vac as well.
