A guppy, a neon and a scissortail fish died.
Tank up and running for over a year now. Have a siamese fighter fish, columbian red fin tetras, neons, a plec, corydoras catfish, arasborais/scissor-tail. ammonia was 0.25 the only other thing was a really high pH. |

How many of the colombian tetra's do you have in the tank?

The high ph could be killing your fish... but if the fins are shredded in a relatively short space of time i.e. overnight, it is usually bullying. The colombians are the only ones on your list that sound like they could be the culprits. I've read that they can get a bit aggro if kept in smaller quantities. Maybe if you got 4 more it might help, but get the ph sorted first - there is a product called Ph Down that you can use, but don't raise the ph too quickly.

Not if the tank has a high Ph I've found with my tropical tank at ph of 7.5 isn't as bad as acidic one of 6 my goldfish inhabitant, Nitrite is the one to watch for in more alkaline waters, what's the ph?

Also stress can play a big factor in the health of fish if fish are stressed I've found even small changes to water can be lethal for them.
