The tank was set up from Feb this year. Cycled using food in the tank, doing regular water changes. I monitor the water using an API test kit for ammonia, nitrites, nitrates and PH. I also do not change the water every two weeks, but every 2 days. I did write this above. Why is nutrafin...

Thanks guys.. Its a shame and the last thing I wanted when I got them was for this to happen. It just seems odd that it suddenly happened after having them for 2 months. They were fine to start with and I changed nothing I did. Poor little guys. There should be more control over selling inbred...

The last guppy has died, it was dead when I got home from work as I guessed it probably would be. Thanks for everyone who tried to help though! I learnt a lot even though it was bad news in the end. Feeling incredibly disheartened I will now try to keep the neons OK and will never get another...

I have heard that they are not the best fish for a beginner because of inbreeding, but I'm really trying!! The LFS sold them as female I think, although I honestly cannot remember. I will take a photo of the last guppy tonight, and I think I have photos of the others also before they died so...

Ok I've lost another 2 guppies.. I only have one left.. I've been feeding the peas and brine shrimp and a bit of dried food but getting it damp before its in the tank as I think this helps it to not expand and cause problems after the fish eat it? Anyway.. it hasn't worked.. The neons look...

Cichlids should be kept in a species only tank and can be aggressive so I would avoid these. I follow the 1" per gallon rule but if you have to get something I'd go with a small group of tetras as they're pretty as Athena said.. If you don't mind me asking what happened to the 10 fish?

So far I have not thrown any media away, just rinsed it in the water that I take out from the tank when I do water changes. Is this OK? I will not be restocking - I had no idea it was so fully stocked (nice to know) - so fingers crossed they will be ok now. What is best for guppies? I will do...

Excellent, Thanks for the help.. the peas went down a treat last night.. I will keep an eye out for the mixed frozen foods. The other 3 guppies are looking OK at the moment, fingers crossed I'll be able to keep these guys ok!!

I only feed them half a cube and once a month. Is this still too much? I will get some brine shrimp tonight, do they come in the cubes like the blood worms? Also should I be thawing them prior to putting frozen food in the tank? The man in the lfs said it didn't matter but i'm not sure.. I...

The scales are normal and their poo looks normal - just like the tetras - although I havent seen them go many times (I will watch the others tonight and wait to see) I feed them Aquarian tropical flake food and have popped in a cube of bloodworms on occasions too. The guppys are not resting on...

:( I had 6 guppys in a 60l tank. In the last month one by one are getting bloated and then after a week or so are dying. I now have 3 left, the most recent one I found dead in the tank this morning. 2 of the others are starting to look bigger than before, although the 3rd seems exactly how I...
