    Recent losses has me worried. Yesterday found my older male dead at the bottom of the tank. This morning found the younger female also dead. The young male and older female seems to be getting along just fine , that time of month again. No signs of irritation or anything. Examined both fish. No signs of scars, bruises, marks, swelling etc etc. Any suggestion on what could have happened or possible things to do to stop this from happening again ?

    Hi
    We will need more info.
    Tank Size and Volume.
    Type Of Fish in Tank.
    Water Parameters like Temp., Ammonia,Nitrate,Nitrite.

    The more info you can give on your tank setup the better we can assist you.

    Hey @Amnethyst

    Know your tank is new... Been keeping up with the waterchanges mate? Also,in Kirkwood - know that the watersupply can be a bit dodge - even more so now with the drought of the last year or so..You use tap or borehole...?

    Read Zoom's article's at top of Beginners dicussions on the nitrogen cycle and how to start a new tank...
