So finally cleaned the 40b up a bit and added a few fish to it.
Above guppies, zebras and red blue tetras.
After a few weeks all are fine...except the above guppies.
Out of 3 one disappeared after day 1 (was surface clinging so thought he would be an issue).
One was fine (though a bit lethargic for a guppy) till today.
Found floating. He was sort of the remaining ones pal and more than active together for at least the first week.
Became a bit reclusive and of course ..died.
Never really had problems with any guppies before so I was wondering if this "variety" had any known issues/sensitivities?
am/nitrites undetectable.
Nitrates about 25-50ppm, low normal for this tank over the years.
TDS is high at about 700ppm but guppies that can live in saltwater shouldn't be affected.
GH is high as reflected above, Mg.
Kh is 2-ish more or less
No not "ideal" but it is what it is.
