Any recent changes..new fish/filters/power outages etc etc: I added API Tap Water Conditioner for the first time yesterday and followed dosage instructions.
I came home to find my little Peppermint called Pikachu floating at the top with a huge belly. This is the second pepp to die in this tank, and I've been told it's just because they're so small and they're more susceptible to infections, but I feel like it's something I've done Like I said above, I used Tap Water Conditioner for the first time yesterday but surely that wouldn't kill him? I want some more pepps for my 4ft tank but I don't want to kill any more..
I appreciate any advice or suggestions Thanks
