Over the last 10 days my fish have been dying ( a couple each day ), my tank is now almost empty apart from fry. 2 weeks ago I added some more sand to my tank so I could plant some plants, I added 4 plants from my local aquatic shop and 2 moss balls bought from ebay. My water has been testing fine other than my nitrite being 0 ( think that's the right one ) ammonia is 0 and my ph is a bit high ( but that's always been the case ), fish have showed little sign of illness and go down hill very fast, I have lost my rainbow shark, 2 panda Corrys , 3 swordtails, 3 mollies, 3 guppies and 2 neons, my plecs are all ok but looking stressed. I have been doing lots of water changes, have been moving the sand around ( in case there's any gas build up ), have air pumps running but fish are still dying.
I'm now thinking I'm just going to have to sit back and see what happens, if all the fish die then I can scrub the tank, clean everything and start again , totally gutted.
