Hello,
Left for work this morning, and all 6 of my Rummy Nose Tetra looked alive and well. I got home from work this evening to notice one was upside down and floating on a leaf in my tank. It looked pretty dead, so I gave it a poke and it just started to sink to the bottom of the tank, I've fished it out and taken a look and his eyes are pretty swollen, his tail also looks like the middle part is missing, although he hadn't lost any/much of the colour from his nose. I have no idea when he died, but it must have been during today..
I'm not too sure why/how it has died. He shares the tank with 5 other Rummy Nose, 2 Otto, 4 Amano Shrimp & a handful of Cherry Shrimp. All of which, still look healthy at the moment...
I give the tank regular 40% water changes and dose ferts every night. The tank has lights on for 8 hours a day, and has CO2 on for 8 hours a day on a solenoid. I measure the CO2 levels using a drop checker, and it's usually a nice green colour.
Nothing has changed recently, last night I trimmed the hair grass, did a water change (and used tap water conditioner) and did ferts, nothing out of the ordinary, apart from the grass trim...
Does anyone have any ideas what has happened to my Rummy Nose? I can provide more tank information etc if needed, and even have a picture of the dead Rummy Nose.
Is there anything I should do to the tank now this has happened?
Thanks for your help in advance, and sorry for the essay
