Re: A Fresh Start

Another of the remainders has begun to "shimmy" and isolate itself. It's colour is still really good though and they've all been eating well, parameters are still good (barring the high hardness).

Will keep updating especially because I'm hoping to figure out what's going on.

Re: A Fresh Start

new filters and it should be good to go! I'd recommend doing it anyway if its been sitting as they need to stay wet. remember to stay with little RO and work up from there. a 70/30 mix is usually more than enough ( Tap/RO ) BalloonMolly , to add, from experience get yourself a TDS meter, you'll fin...

Re: A Fresh Start

I'm hoping to get hold of my RO unit from a family member to see whether it'll reduce the hardness adequately, even if I mix some RO with tap water. If it's a bit old (though I didn't use it very much) I might think about replacing it.

Re: A Fresh Start

Ok, this might be part of it then. My tanks sit at around 16dH (the quarantine was reading 380ppm TDS when I used my new meter the other day!). I had always thought they were "real hard water" fish... So I won't go for getting any more.

Re: A Fresh Start

Thanks for checking in. The older guppy finally passed a couple of days ago. One of the other smaller Endlers also died quite suddenly overnight last night as well. I am really confused about what to do. Water parameters are still pristine, I've been doing 10-15% water changes every 2 days. The litt...

Re: A Fresh Start

A second guppy passed away overnight. Colour were vibrant and it wasn't very big, but hadn't passed any poo in days despite eating pea and having a very full belly. I thought he'd been a bit better after interacting with the other fish last night but apparently not. Did a small water change last nig...

Re: A Fresh Start

Really unfortunate that it's so hard to tell. They're at least second-time rehomes, last time in October I think so they're all at least 4 months old. I'll let you know about getting more in future, thanks for the offer! I'll certainly wait until it warms up a bit (unless you're based anywhere near ...

Re: A Fresh Start

I agree that this one does look old. And he's about full-grown size, but the others are much smaller and more rounded. Sadly, the one that passed away looked quite young imo. Managed to get pics of the other one who's been lethargic. Had to use "Pro Mode" on my phone :rofl: https://i.posti...

Re: A Fresh Start

Thanks for the tip! I never double-dose the Stress Coat as it recommends for ill fish but I'll just stick to the Fluval stuff for now. This might be the case for the male who's perked up a bit, will send pics in a bit.
