Any idea why all of a sudden the loss????

Temp 78+
Ammonia <1
Nitrate >25
Nitrite 0
Hardness very soft
Chlorine 0
Alkalinity 180+
PH 8+
Plants some live

Hi Popeye,

Has your pH always been so high? 8+ is not a clear value... pH 14 would also be described as 8+

Also, were there any signs of damage, bleeding, skin lesions, white bits or fuz on the dead fish?

Regards, Eric

PH is at ~8.2 and has always been that high. No signs of injury or disease. One day eating and the next demised!
Interesting is that two of the three had short tails and the remaining one has a much longer tail than the other two had. I'm sure it means nothing, but it is odd.

LOL It does? To be honest, I've never tried it myself. Now I will! :))

Sorry, Popeye. In the absence of any indications of cause of death, any suggestions on my part would be strictly speculative.
