Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): This is the issue, I'm not seeing any syptoms. Fish are dying on me and I can't see anything wrong with them till right before they start swimming upside down or I find them stuck on the filter intake. Last fish to die was a female bolivian ram today, she was weak and couldnt' swim upright, her gills looks slightly swollen and red but it could be my imagination. I had been losing a fish a day for about week and decided to treat with Jungle "Lifeguard" and I thought it did the trick but the day after the waterchange that closed out the treatment, the bolivian female died. Interestingly enough, didn't lose any fish during the 6 day period I was treating with Lifeguard. Deathcount so far: 3 female bolivian rams, 2 angelfish, 3 siamese algae eaters, 3 flame tetras, 10 harlequin rasboras, 1 cory cat,
Volume and Frequency of water changes:10g weekly
Chemical Additives or Media in your tank: RenaXP3 w/sponges, ceramic rings, biochemstars, microfloss - in that order. Chemicals: liquid plant fertilizer, neutral regulator and PRIME during water changes. Recently did a 5 day regimen of Jungle "Lifeguard"
Tank inhabitants: 2 siamese algae eaters, 4 flame tetra, 6 black neon tetra, 5 two-inch veil angels, 3 blue rams, 1 bolivian ram, 3 corycats, 1 bristlenose pleco
Recent additions to your tank (living or decoration): the black neons...I'd been watching them at the petstore, they've had them for at least a couple months - added them last night during the water change
