    Hi

    will someone like to advise me on what can be done.. woke up in the morning and find one of my ottos dead and 2 out of 6 rummy nose that i had lose quite a significant amount of redness on their nose.

    did a test on the water and found the following...
    KH test - 71.6ppm
    GH test - 107.4ppm
    pH test - 6.5

    I just bought the ottos and rummy nose on sunday. The tank is about 3 mths old but did a major rescaping 2 weeks back.

    Thanks.

    Any checks on the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels?? Otos normally will expire in bad water conditions.... you may have disturbed the nitrogen cycle and it may be in a re-cycling process....

    10ppm should be ok.... But was there any more disturbamce to the tank recently??

    Hmm... mebbe the rummy-noses or otos were carriers of some disease?? Pretty hard to tell now... Next time, it's best to quarantine them for a week first before adding them to the main tank.
