First Casualties :(`

Well woke up this morning to by dwarf Gourami dead and half eaten! The mini angelfish was also dead but looks like it just died a few minutes before I saw it. I did some readings in the tank and all levels were fine. I changed 30% of the water just to be on the safe side. Should I do another 30% tomorrow or something? All fish seem fine, cant see the cory's though as they are hiding in the caves!

what did you test for?

any ideas what may have killed them apart from water conditions?
Other fish, stress for some reason, other?

Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate, all normal, i.e. 0 etc.

Yeah the male molly is a bit mental sometimes but I doubt there was anything too stressful in the tank. They seemed to eat as well so not sure if it was a hunger thing. Bloody disturbing seeing a half eaten corpse! I'll keep an eye on the readings daily and see if there are any spikes.

possibly chlorine from water changes? though I wouldn't have though it would be too bad with a bit of care. temp and ph ok?

other than that I couldn't really say, dunno that much.

Have kept an eye on the tank the last few days, did tests daily and all levels were fine. might have just been one of those natural causes that coincidently happened to two fish at the same time!
