Hey guys I need help with my tank. Everything is going wrong at once.
It started yesterday. I caught my pleco chewing on the corpse of my prize peacock.
Then, Another fish Died, and he did the same thing.
I thought he had acquired the taste for fish (he is well fed, eats alage wafers, and veggies), and decided to euthanize him.
After that, I thought it was best to do a WC, so I did a 90 percent one. In the middle of it, my mom asked me to walk the dog, so I said yes. She was watching the tank drain, and let it drain to like 4 inches of water. (tank is a 40 g). I came back in 20 mins, filled the tank up, with dechlorinator, and checked the temp, and all was well. Then I noticed my fish were gasping at the top of the tank. I added a little more dechlorinator because I thought that was a sing of chlorine poisoning. Go to bed. Wake up to another dead fish. Something is wrong. Notice all the fish have terrible HITH, and some fungus patches, some are spasing out. PLS help!!!!!
What could have cause this? Was it to much dechlorinator? I heard its almost impossible to overdose.
I left some cabbage in there during the wkend, and forgot to take it out. It was a little mushy, but mostly eaten? Could it rotting somehow effected my fish???
Could the fish being in low water levels have stressed them out?
I cranked the temp up to 84, added salt, beneficial bacteria, and doesed with a fungus medication supposed to help with ich and others.
Pics to come
Also noticed n the dead fish the area behind the fins was red
