picked up 3 baby piranhas this Saturday for my 70 gallon. Sunday night when I was feeding them I noticed one was swimming very erratically. Didn't know what was wrong but tested the water and everything was good. I woke up monday and the fish was dead. Then I noticed another one was doing something similar. Tested the water again Monday morning and everything was good.
I know about swim bladder disease but what are the chances that happening to 2 of them? I only fed them flakes too. Talked to lfs where I bought them and they were puzzled. Since then I transferred the 2 that are alive to a 20 gallon so I could keep a better eye on them. The one is still alive and the other seems ok.
The fish is either laying on the bottom on its side or doing summer saults and swimming on its side or upside down very erratically. Been over a day now and not sure what to do
Temp: 82
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 10
Ph: 7.6
