Here's what we have in our approx. 17 gallon tank: 12 Cardinal Tetras, 5 Rummy Nose Tetras, 4 Corydoras Catfish, 7 Glowlight Tetras, and 6 African Lampeyes. Mysteriously, the one platy that was in this tank died yesterday very suddenly. The Glowlight that we had quarantined died yesterday as well. Then suddenly today, one of our Lampeyes surprisingly died too. There were no signs of the Lampeyes being sick. The Platy seemed weak in the other tank before we moved him into our bigger community tank recently. He never regained his strength I suppose. We did a 2/3 water change on Sunday.
I checked the water's PH and it is the same it's always been (a week bit higher than 7.5). I checked the Nitrite level and it was optimal (below 0.3). My ammonia test kit has run out of liquid (one of the bottles) so I am unable to test the ammonia level. I do not have a nitrate level kit. The tank has been running since late May or early June of this year.
What kind of complete test kit should I get and can I buy it online and have it shipped to Japan? I couldn't find the full sets here - only individual kits which cost a lot by themselves. Already went through one ammonia kit (big bottle).
