[RML] Whats the deal

I have had 3 more bows die in the last 24 hours. I have NO idea why. I
saved the partially chewed on carcasses and to my very untrained eye there
is nothing apparently wrong with them other than they are dead....

Just for edification... my PH is between 7.0-7.1 during the day. I use UV
sterilization. My water chemistry is 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate. I
use CO2 for plants, and fertilize with Kent freshwater plant stuff..... I
do a 25% water change weekly and clean the filters every month. I have not
had a fish die in a long time let alone 7 in the last 2 weeks.

One thing similar is all the fish that died I did get from Roy before he
left for OZ. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience
with the same fish.

The only other thing I have done recently to my tank is a slight change in
some of the plants where I removed a bunch of ugly over grown plants and
did a huge gravel cleaning... (much more than usual).

I would appreciate any comments on this.

Thanks
Larry
