I've now been running CO2 for a little over a year and recently took the decision to turn it off. Having kept fish for many years with no problems, over the last 9 months I've had no end of fish deaths spread out over that period. A had three different shoals of 5-10 large African tetras, and I am now down to my very last tetra. I find they usually develop wounds to their sides and around their mouth, which isn't helped my medication, and die after a week or so after the symptoms first develop. It's also been very isolated to just tetras. I have perches, flying foxes and knife fish who have all been fine.
I've always been fairly modest with my CO2 injection, with the drop checker always a good colour green, and never yellow.
Has anyone else had trouble keeping fish with CO2 injection? I've read a lot of mixed views searching through Google so wanted to ask the experts. Other changes I've made to the tank in conjunction with the CO2, was a lighting upgrade and dosing once a week with tropica Premium Nutrition, but thought the CO2 was more than likely the culprit.
Any helps greatly appreciated.
