Hey all, new to this forum malarkey so please be gentle! Ok so the short and tall of it is I got my first aquarium (fluval edge 46l) and up until recently all was well, I changed the water (all of it which was probably a bad idea..) but all the fish seemed happy. Had 3 neon tetras, a plec, a betta, a blue ram and a guppy.
Few weeks later I bought some new fish, 3 rainbow fish (the silver black ones) 4 guppies and a loach. I had issues with new guppies in the past (bought 2 and lost them both in a few days) but assumed it was just bad luck. However, a day after introducing the new fish I lost my ram. Since then I've been clearing 2 dead fish a day out and now all that's left is the plec, a loach and 2 tetra.
I've checked the water and it's fine! No ammonia, nitrate or nitrite and ph is good. The betta had lost most of his fins so I was adding treatment (medifin) but was keeping up with water changes so assume that wasn't the cause. I just have no idea what's happened and why all my fish are dead. I really hope someone can help me!!
Thank you in advance!
Matt
