Question

Ten fish have lived in a 10-gallon fish tank for 6 months. However, within 2 weeks of adding 6 new fish, the population of fish drops to 7

fish. Which most likely accounts for this drop in the fish population?
A. The additional fish increased the water level.
B. The additional fish reduced the space per fish.
C. The additional fish increased the water temperature.
D. The additional fish reduced the carbon dioxide levels.

Answer 1

I think it's D

Step-by-step explanation:

Although space per fish is important, and may even be correct, I found D to be the most logical answer as each fish would need the same amount of carbon dioxide or the unbalance would cause a decrease in population.

Hope this helps
