Hi all,
I've kept Poropanchax normani, but not in a CO2 added tank.
I'm not pointing the finger, but in these circumstances I don't see why you didn't just turn the CO2 off? and then leave it off for a few days? If you are more worried about the effect on your plants (of having a short break in CO2), rather than killing the fish, I just don't find that acceptable.
cheers Darrel
That would be my guess. Because the blood haemoglobin transports both CO2 and Oxygen, it would depend on the <"(Bohr) Root Effect">, which differs between fish.This is probably what's happening your plants are adding extra CO2 at night and you already have a high level of CO2 in the photo period

I see the killifish (some of them) gasping for air at the surface but only at night.
11 of the 20 fish died overnight.
