What’s your ph and nitrates? How often do you do water changes? How was the fish acting in the hours before he died? How old was he? How are the other fish acting? Eating? Could you post a few pics of your fish? Please? We’ll try to help all we can.

I don't have a ph and nitrAte tester. Fish was fine yesterday..she died at night..so I donno what the symptoms were before death. They r eating like crazy..all others look ok..tetras look dull in color. I did add some rock salt an hour back thoughGypsy13 said:What’s your ph and nitrates? How often do you do water changes?

Rock salt or aquarium salt? Did you completely dissolve it first? Also salt and snails don’t generally mix well. What type of test kit are you using?SSJ said:

Rock salt, dissolved well in a mug of treated water. I really don't care about the snails as they r too much in number and r wild ones. I have API ammonia and nitrite test kitGypsy13 said:Rock salt or aquarium salt? Did you completely dissolve it first? Also salt and snails don’t generally mix well.

I added salt just now. Not earlier when the fish diedsmee82 said:Adding salt could be the cause id its not aquarium salt

Rock salt (like ice cream salt) has impurities in it. Also, if your snails die, be sure to remove their little bodies promptly as they decay rapidly.SSJ said:
