This morning I looked in the tank and there was one of the rainbow fish floating at the top dead. I checked the water levels immediatly and found that the ammonia and nitrate were almost non excistent. Ammonia was 0.1 and nitrate was 0

I noticed there was a lot of waste and what not on the bottem so I did a 15 gallon water change and grabbed a lot of the crap on the bottem. I washed a few ornaments and filled it back up?

I am wondering what the cause of this was. I hope it wasn't my feeding schedule? Maybe their was a fight?

Oh yeah and I also notice one single white spot on one of my smaller sucker fish?
