Fish Died Random

[lukes280]

Ok i have 4 guppies 2 swordtail's' 2 glow neons (red striped) 1 clown loach and had 2 tiger barb but now have 1. had the tiger barbs for 4 days with the loach and sword tail as there was before i added these 4 guppies 1 sword tail and 2 glow neons. The tiger barb has been great with the other fish all playing swimming around the tank, no fighting as well. I was a bit worried with the tiger barbs and guppies as of there tails are long and flapy. Woke up dis-morning, every thing was great all fish did the same thing as the rest of the days, come to the surface for feeding. i didn't feed them for 2days as i feed them worms. Got home from school to find 1 of my tiger barbs dead. Just in case your wondering the fish had been in there for 2 weeks before i add the new ones. Any idea what could have caused this??

Thanks

What size is the tank?

What are your water stats? (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate)

Yes, anytime a fish dies your first action should be to break out your test kit and investigate.
