So I woke up to 3 of my channel catfish dead, and both of my pictus'..:cry:
Pictus were about 3", Channels were 5-6" each..

My FL gars were both fine, RTC is fine, Albino Asian RTC is fine, Pleco is fine, Striped Raphael is fine, Shovel Nose is fine
Gars about 8", RTC about 8", AARTC about 7", Pleco about 4", Raphael about 1", Shovel nose about 8"

Gars seem just fine, like nothing happened........
Shovel Nose won't leave the top of the water........
RTC and AARTC are just breathing pretty rapidly......
Raphael is just fine.........
Pleco is just fine.....

Does anyone have any idea what could have happened? I know some people may have think they were attacked by my larger fish, but I see no marks to prove it. Also, a weird thing, is 2 of my channels are like "standing up". Their tails are touching the sand, and they're pretty much pointing straight up like a pole..... :irked:

This sucks /: I loved my channels. They've grown so much since I bought them.:nilly::cry:

EDIT:
Water Results
Ammonia - 0 ppm
Nitrate - 0 ppm
Nitrite - 0 ppm
Temperature 78-80 degrees

0 nitrate with that bioload? :screwy: How is that possible?

Ugh the api master test kit or something like that. It MAY have been at max .25
