Lost all my fish but 1! What now?!?

[ChickenWhisperer101]

The water at my ranch is harder, I cant remember exactly but I think it was 19-23 in grains or close to that. Is this better for her? I can try to find exact numbers later. Today’s just been busy. If this isn’t good I can get crushed coral to put in the tank. I’ve read that that increases the hardness.

Exact numbers would be good, but the ranch water is definitely better. You can put some cichlid sand in the tank (1/2 cup per gallon) to increase the hardness a little too.
I think she should be okay in there, as long as she's not with a male and giving birth every month.

I’m not gonna get a male, so hopefully she will be good. Any fish breed recommendations? thanks for all your help!

Other livebearers would be good. Guppies, Endlers, Mollies, Platies, etc.

So sorry for your loss. Any idea why your tank crashed?

 

[ChickenWhisperer101]

No. I’m thinking some kind of bacteria

I have an 80 gallon I used to do the whole Amano ultra planted wonderland CO2 enriched thing, but my tap water is so hard I had to aRO everything and then I had a hard time getting replacement parts, my tank got old, then we had a couple earthquakes and I decided 80 gallons on the floor wouldn’t be fun if it broke, so..it’s still sitting down there, empty..
