Fish Going

[redkev]

i have had my tank running for a year now. a friend who owns a fish shop tested my water as i dont know what im doing with wather test and he said all was fine. so i bought a few more fish. everyday another 1 or 2 die. i has 6 cory and they are all gone. my live plants never last, can anyone give me help?

can you give us some more info on the tank and inhabitatns, what size is it, what fish do you have, what maintenance do you do?

best to understand the test results yourself, this topic explains the main ones to watch out for

you should get your own test kit, test your water and let us know what the readings are. that's the best thing for us to help you

Agreed with Miss Wiggle.

We definitely need to know what is in the tank and how big it is.

You say you had it set up for a year, everything was fine and then you put more fish in it and they started dying.
What was in it when you had it set up and what did you add that seemed to trigger this? You might have introduced a disease. What do the fish do before they die? Are there any signs of bloating or loss of weight? Do they swim eratically, become agressive, hide all the time, refuse to eat? Do they change colour, lose their scales, or develop spots, patches, holes or cuts? We really need to know things like this to help you.
