swivvr Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) The death happened in the morning, when I woke up all seem to do fine except for the one tetra who has a hard time swimming. An hour later I check on the tank, and one of the tetras is dead. It was not the tetra that had a hard time swimming up right. That had surprised me. I checked the ammonia, and there was 0 ppm as I took the fish out probably a few minutes after it had died. The gills area looks all red and on the side of it. Does anyone know the cause of this?
