Oto Help :(

I had originally purchased 8 Otocinclus from my LFS. 4 have passed away and one more looks to be on his way. Water Paramters-

0/0/30ish (nitrate)
7.0 PH
Temp- 76-77 F

40 gallon breeder planted with almond leaves. All other stock is perfectly healthy. No signs of parasites in any poop from anyone. No visible ICH and everyone is colored.

They aren’t getting bullied. My community is pretty peaceful. I’m just really at a loss why I’m losing them one by one like this.

Texas Holey Rock in 40 Gallon help

As the title says. My wife and I, new to the hobby, purchased this “cool white rock” at our LFS. The tank is nearly cycled when I find out yesterday that said rock will raise our ph and tds to levels too high for our future tetras. The PH in our tank has been hanging around 7.2 in the past 3 weeks and my tds is 150ish ppm. My wife is attached to the rock and doesn’t want to get rid of it. Need advice please. Will it be okay if monitored or is it a hard no?
