Any advice!

[Jill]

I’m not sure what’s going on with the fish we did a water change cleaned the filter yesterday all the freshwater master test kit says the water quality is good. Over night several died these don’t look to good I don’t know why any help would be great.

Did you remember to use dechlorinator?

 

[FishGuest5123]

Do another 75 - 80% water change and use dechlorinator. See if the fish perk up any. Something has to be in the water. Did any soap or cleaning agents get in tank?

 

[Jill]

Nothing got in the tank that I’m aware of.

What about dechlorinating the water?

 

[Jill]

Yeah did that.

I don't see any disturbed water. Do you have a filter?

 

[Jill]

Yes there is a filter

 

[HoldenOn]

Huh. Are those serpae tetra? I can kind of make out the little diamond in the last photo.

75- 80% water change should help with the problem... you cleaned the filter and did a water change? It’s possible the cycle crashed or is crashing. Maybe test again and see if everything looks good.

Ye they are super faded. How do you go about cleaning your filter?

Idk if the cycle crashed because op said they tested the water and it came up fine.
Maybe we could get the exact parameters?

I just wanted to know what “fine” meant, to make sure.

We used the fish tank water to clean the filter.
