One of the neon tetras that were recently added to our tank swam up to the filter and somehow got stuck in the filter, and we found it dead. Its tail had been clipped off from the filter and we had to remove the dead fish from the tank. The water level was still going down little by little each day. When we did our water quality test, the ammonia had gone down to a good level of .25 ppm. However, the nitrate had increased to 160 ppm, probably due to the death of the neon tetra. Because of this, we had to do a water change, and siphoned the gravel at the bottom of our aquarium in order to hopefully make the nitrate level go down to not kill any of our other fish. The temperatures were 66 degrees Fahrenheit and 22 degrees Celsius.
