hello, I am having a lot of trouble. I have a 10 gallon tank which currently contains a sunset platy, male guppy, female betta fish, and a black mystery snail. For about 3 weeks now, i lost about 3 fish to some unknown causes. generally the fish would slow down, stop eating start pooping clear and regular poop, and eventually die. currently my sunset platy and my guppy are scaling up and down the side of the tank non-stop, the suset platy has visable red gills, the guppy doesnt seem to have red gill but goes up and down the side of the tank non stop. there are no other visible signs on the fish that would indicate some thing specific.
I suspected a parasite issue but treated for that multiple time and nothing is working. I completely clean out the tank washed it out with hot water just in case anything was in there. then set the tank back up and let sit for 3 days before i put the fish back in. and still they are doing the same thing.
All my water level are normal:
GH - 60ppm
KH - 120ppm
ph - 7.4
no2 - 0
no3 - 20ppm
ammonia - 0
please any advice would be great its really driving me crazy, thanks
