Hi all,
So I am coming to the end of a two week heat/salt treatment for ich.
That's the good news.
Bad news is I lost a bleeding heart Tetra today and my Siamese Algae Eaters are looking really beat up. The bleeding heart was beat up as well.
Here's the thing; I've never seen the GT's chase, nip, or bother either the SAE's or the Tetras.
I don't know what happens when the lights go out, but during the I see plenty of chasing between the GT's, but nothing that would make me think the GT's are harassing these other fish.
But I also don't believe in coincidences. Since getting the GT's I've lost 2 Tetras and 1 SAE.
On the other hand these fish are all old. The Tetras are like 4 or 5 years old. I started with 12. By the time I renewed this tank I was down to 5 and since adding GT's I'm at 3.
The SAE's I'm going to guess are 10 years old? So not sure if they look old & worn out because they're old and worn out...
Thoughts?
