Lossing a fish a week

[J_acon]

I just lost another fish, and i don't know what is wrong. All readings are 0
got lots of plants in it. Didn't add any new fish to the tank, but they started dying one by one every week. They show no sign of illness, they are fine on moment and dead the next.

Any ideas as to what is going on? casualties so far, 3 females Dwarft gouramis and 1 Oto

I think we will need to know what size your tank is and what other fish you have to help you determine what happened to your fish.

I've not had much joy with dwarf gouramis myself. I had 2 pairs, all but 1 female died. Therefore, I've not had a great deal of experience with them.

I have heard that it's best to keep 2 females to 1 male though. This is so any 1 female doesn't get all the attention. Perhaps with a 1 to 1 ratio, the females were just getting too stressed. If you want to keep males and females, you could try getting 6 females.
