Tank size: 12UK gallon
pH: 8.0
ammonia: 0
nitrite: 0
nitrate: 40
kH: na - but i think a bit on the hard side
gH: na
tank temp: 25oC
Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior):
All my fish are dying unexplainably - sort of. Did have finrot, but that cleared up and after 5 or so water changes (no carbon in the tank) they succumbed to whitespot. They all look relatovely ok with regards to this except the female betta who is most affected but i did catch it quite early: many have 1 or 2 spots, betta has approx 10. this betta also has clamped fins and often displays the ill horizontal stripes. Both the betta and a gourami are staying at the top barely moving AT ALL or nose down in the corner for hours only to move again at some time. I can only think this is a lack of oxygen - the ones with labyrinth organs are taking in water all the time, those that don't just suffocate and ie suddenly. I don't see how though as it is a rectangular aquarium with 6 largish plants and a big bubble thing on full. and the medicine has only been in there for whitespot for 2 days. At the moment thugh a fish dies every day
Volume and Frequency of water changes: 2 weeks ago i did them daily for the finrot but now weekly
Chemical Additives or Media in your tank: plant gro, anti hair algae, finrot (a while ago) medicine and whitespot medicine.
Tank inhabitants: of what is left:
7 platies
2 caes
1 female betta
1 female gourami
4 guppies
al young ones
Recent additions to your tank (living or decoration): the platies - but they were all dying before their or the whitespots medicine addition - they just continued the trend
The water seems pretty perfect, all the fish get on, yet everything is dying! whats going on, please help
