Sad day....two dwarf oto died...not sure why,been in tank for 4 to 5 days, left 2.
water quality is good, 0ppm ammonia,0 ppm nitrite,10 ppm nitrate, ph 6.4-6.6
rummynose are very active, cardinal also...eating well.
rummynose head is much redder than first brought home, gills portion also red..black stripes very distinct .... very nice
3 Yamato shrimps is active grazing ...
plants...70 to 80% coverage from carpeting perspective though still not as lush...will need another month or so to be fuller and lush I Guess.

hopefully no more casualty....

The plants look good bro.

Sometimes, the fish died no matter how hard you try. Don't worry much, it is part of the hobby. Slowly when tank is more mature, less casualty in the tank. Sometimes, fish already ill or weak at the store, nothing you can do much. Cheers and keep up the good works!

Hi fellow hobbyists

everytime I trim the plants, a couple of rummy nose will die....any idea why? Shock? Cardhinal Tetra ok though, water quality ok

Did your tank cycled ? Or could it be you just wash your hand with soap or other chemical when you trim it? Stress fish could be

Tank fully cycled...plant growing very well and fishes also well, only when after trimming will have casualties...rummy nose...cardinal is ok
