Lee Friedmann Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I placed rummy nose tetras and Sterbai Corey into my 20 gallon quarantine tank on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday I add the med trio to the tank. I woke up this morning and I had 11 dead rummy nose. Amonia, nitrite and nitrates are zero. Could the meds cause the die off, I pored the powder meds directly into the tank. Should I have mixed in water first and then add? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first day, my fish thought that the powder was food. I didn't have any deaths, but I'm going to dissolve it first, from now on.

FriendlyLoach Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I have never had the trio kill off fish, I think it was something else, like a disease that was already taken hold, or something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
