Both Mollies dead

[GSA190]

I just found both of my mollies dead this morning. I don't know if the pH was to hight or the ammonia. The pH is at about 6.6 and the nirite is at 0.5

I think mollies need a ph level of 7.5 to 8.5?

The PH could be higher for Mollies but they probably died of Nitrite poisining - are there any other fish in the tank?? You need to do a big water change to bring the nitrite down so you don't lose anymore fish...

Sorry for your loss

I'm dong a fish cycle. I need the fish and I have to wait for the nirite to drop before I can do a major water change.

[Fishalicious]

Ahhhhhhhhhh you didn't say that... but it still explains why they died.... but in this case don't do a water change

Sorry for your loss...things will be better after the cycle is done...

[GSA190]

Thanks for caring everyone. I hope things will be better after the cycle.

These are the fish that you bought instead of the dannios? The ones your bought thinking that they would die anyway?

[Tolley]

lol at the post above me i remember him saying that too...

My nirtite is sky high but the ammonia is still at 0.5. Is that normal?

[grizzly]

It sounds pretty normal. Your ammonia level will decrease over time.

[mitcore]

if your tank is still cycling then it is normal but if you have already done your tank cycle then it is not normal

has your tank cycled?

[GSA190]

Its still cycling.
