over the past few weeks my fish are slowly dying off... i have only one 1 balloon molly left out of 3... a little orange gourami has died.. i have 2 mollys left... my little baby molly died ... and now a snail has died...

im thinking im going to have to get my tank water tested.....

over time i have lost and replaced all of my fish except for 2 mollys and 2 fantails which have been in the tank from the onset..

Was gonna make a post today to see how your snails were doing :thinking:

I don't know why they are dying sorry hun, it's sad though :love:

ive just done a 3/4 water change, ive taken all the things out the tank and scrubbed them and ive got a fair bit of shyte out of the stones....
i dont know what else to do :thinking:

fingers crossed

:thinking: Dunno, where is kenny? may just be bad luck hun and nothing you have wrong.

could be hun, strange though :thinking:

sorry so late Shelley busy trying to keep axle calm (xena ready to stand and hes doing cartwheels) :san42:

Ok u done water change thats fine . this type of thing usually happens when fish have been overfed and it upsets balance of aquarium.
Do u have a test kit (tetra used to do a topical one) about £30 this is deal to check water every couple of weeks (easy to do)and covers four or five tests it last a long time and u can by refills.
I remember u saying u moved the tank were they dying before this or is this new.?
Have u introduced any rocks drift wood etc since u moved it ?
Have u feed live food from petshop?
Has tia dropped anything in tank (strange smell perfume)someone put pernod in one of mine when sister had a party one night
as uv changed the water do not add anymore fish take a sample of water to pet shop (if u dont have testkit)and let then do test for u if they say its ok u can add more fish.
I would not feed for a couple of days it will do them no harm.
When i used to go on holiday i would give them live feed before i went and they were not feed until i came back and the tank was always spotless as they survived of algae

im thinking i may be over feeding them tbh....

actually i did add something new to the tank and then everything started dying, ive taken this out today!

im going to take a water sample to the store at the weekend..

i noticed when i cleaned everything in the tank there was black stuff round the filter and over the plastic plants.

i would think its overfeeding to shelley tbh , i would not feed what u have remaining for a couple of days
when ur feeding only give a small amount(what u can pinch between to fingers) the fish should be able to eat this before it hits bottom.
Do not use the tablet food unless u have a few catfish in tank.
the black stuff will prbablybe build up of rotten food which has basically piosoned the fish as filter was unable to cope with bacteria increase

that sounds right kenny... cheers for that, i'll leave off the feeding for a day or two then

forgot to mention the item u put in tank it was not a coral or similer was it these can carry bacteria thats harmful for tropical fish :thinking:

no it wasnt a coral, it was a little divers helmet lol.... the more i think about it, i reckon it was the food, i was still feeding the same amount as when i had more fish
