Hi,
I purchased some new fish on Saturday (4 Cherry barbs, 2 Clown loaches) for my 130ltr tank and since then I have lost 1 molly, 1 neon tetra (possibly 2 cant find the other one anywhere in the tank), 2 cherry barbs and one of my corys, over a 3 day period (monday till this morning).
I have been testing the water daily and have been getting the same readings. This mornings readings were:
PH: 7.4
Ammonia: 0ppm
I checked over the dead fish and noticed no markings, except for on the molly who had a little red dot down near his tail, the others looked perfectly fine to me. The other fish in the tank are swimming around normally and are exhibiting no signs of stress.
The new fish I purchased came from a different shop to where I usually purchases, based on the recommendation of a friend who never has any trouble with them. So I am not too sure what is happening. After the first fish died (molly) I did a 50% water change incase there was something up with the water and I intend on doing another one today.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
