The nitrates aren't high... 10 is below the first level that is above zero (if that makes sense). My test kit goes from 0-20-40-60-80-100.

I haven't been feeding them extra veggies (would that kill them?) but they do have a lot of driftwood.

There are no other plecos.

I've had them for a few weeks, the tank has been cycled for a month and I recently added 6 rummy-nosed and 3 glass catfish.

They both were fine and active the night before (I was pestering one of them to show his dorsal fin so I was worried about that having killed them but then both wouldn't have died - unless the other died of loneliness).

I'd like to get more but I don't want to kill anymore poor pleccos!

Thanks,
Zoe
