I have a 20 gallon top fin aquarium with 7 community fish in it (zebra danios, etc.). I have had this tank running for around 3 weeks, so it is almost done cycling, and the ammonia has always been low because of my small fish. In an old tank, I had an algae eater that had been happily living with a danio for over a year, and when I moved them into my new tank, the algae eater died within a day. I thought it was just the course of nature, so I decided to get another one, but he died within a day also. I let the tank run for a while but eventually algae began to grow on the decorations, and I thought it was time for another shot (maybe they were dying from lack of food?). An hour after I got this algae eater, I found him dead. I have no clue what is happening to them.
-The water temp. is 78-80 degrees.
-The pH is 6.9-7.1
-The Ammonia is 0
-The Nitrite is 0
-The Nitrate is just above 0
