I have another problem my favorite female started swimming around in circle in middle of the tank not slow but not fast just normal last night and when i woke up looked over and saw my fish just floating there. something is not right in that tank but my plecos and cories are fine along with the shrimp so i dont know

    Wow, I'm sorry to hear that Karma for your loss. What are the results of any water tests you've done?

    well all good i did the test last night i dont remember the numbers for the nitrate and nitrites but ammonia is at 0, 78 temp, and ph level is 7.0 so i guess everything is fine but i just got back from my girlfriends house looked in the tank and all the fish are back to normal. Yay! thanks for the support. lol
