Some female bettas would work...

Sounds good, I really like honey gouramis, they have a very lively personality and they are adorable. Neon tetras and sterbai corydoras are cool too!

What are your water parameters, some fish require different water parameters to others.

Yeah but the food might be harmful in some way I'm not noticing.

Yeah sound Good, just in case I would wait for More opinions

Interesting, I don't see why you couldn't feed it to your fish.

Could be white spot disease, the treatment with methylene blue should work, if not then It could also be a tumour which would be impossible to treat.

Give the aggresive fish to a fish shop or give it away to a family member/friend. Put the injured fish into a quarantine tank and put fish Aloe Vera into the tank to heal.

Guppies are evil, they wouldn't stop attacking each other in my 25 gallon aquarium, the attacks resulted in many deaths. Ended up taking the guppies back too the fish store.

All your living guppies look good too me. The dead ones could have died due too the stress caused by the nipping, weakening there immune system, causing diseases. Guppies have been bred into so many different varieties so they are susceptible to dying of disease and other causes.

Do you have photos of the guppies? Were the guppies showing unusual symptoms or behaviour before the deaths?

Sometimes fish just die, with no apparent reason, it has happened many times before.

These are very strange deaths, it could have been the fertiliser or as someone else mentioned aggression, I am kinda clueless if I'm going be honest

Do you by chance have photos of the loaches, were the loaches showing any strange behaviour before the deaths ?

Can you send photos of all the neon tetras? What are your water parameter?

Can you please send photos of the fish, What are your water parameters and did you cycle your tank and for how long.

Looks like a fungal infection, try aquarium salt (1 heaped tablespoon per 5 gallons of water) or methane blue treatment (directions vary, do what it says on the bottle). This infection can be caused by bad water parameters or simply just bad luck. Good luck with the treatment.

As Gary said, I would buy a bigger tank. It will make it easier for you and your fish.

How long have you had the tank? Did you cycle it?

Most African cichlid species like a ph of above 7.4, but south american and west African cichlids like softer water which would be fine for your water, but hillstream loches should be fine in your aquarium, in your water i would suggest honey gouramis, tetras (neon tetras are my fav) and Cory...

No problem!

What are you water parameters?

OK, I promise I will stop being lazy and do weekly water changes, thank you for your help.

40% water change every other week

Yes, I do it all the time

Welcome too the forum!

1 part of bleach to 20 parts of water, put plants and ornaments in for 3 mins then wash them with water.

OK, will do! Thanks for your help

I keep my light on for around 10-12 hours per day

Sounds like neon tetra disease too me, isolating the fish was smart as this disease is contagious, sadly, neon tetra disease has no cure, so keep any effected fish in your quarantine tank until they pass. Neon tetra disease is usually caused from poor water parameters, too avoid this happening...

My aquarium has a black beard algae problem, I keep having too do bleach baths every month or so, is there a fish/method that will help keep the black beard algae under control permantly. (The aquarium is 25 gallons). Inhabitants 2 honey gourami 5 Sterbai Cory catfish 8 Neon tetras 1...

OK, just let me know if it has been more than 4 weeks and she still hasn't given birth.

Usually a guppy is pregnant for about 3-4 weeks, if it has a large abdomen for longer than this it is a cause of concern. If the guppy has odd posture or is bloated for longer than 4 weeks the guppy could have swim bladder disease, this disease is caused from a bacterial or fungal infection...

The guppy Is most likely pregnant, if it develops odd posture or swims sideways/upside-down then let us know. Is the male guppy nipping at the females fins?

Then your gourami sadly most likely died due to Iridovirus

For how long?

Did you cycle your tank?
