Well it was weird the last few weeks the tank was holding 8.2PH after it cycled and last few days it dropped to 7.3PH (No co2)
Then the goldies which are 4-5" wide three of them were doing great!
Then suddenly they kinda looked laboured & swam against the outlet flow.
So only things I did changed:
Pick your poison?
1) Dosed a new batch of EI (Possible new container still had something in it like bubble bath residue)
2) Introduced one new goldie (Possible biological over load filter to catching up)
3) Replanted a couple of swords when water change. (Released some Ammonia when replanting)
4) Most unlikely over feeding ( no food on floor after 5 minutes)
Hard to tell as the root of it, Nitrite was about 2PPM The filter crashed? (FX6)
I'm not to worried as I'll do water changes daily and they have all picked up so much!
