An update!!! So I did a big cleaning after the fish tank fog disaster. I lost a lot of fish but have finally been able to re establish my tanks! My ten gallon is doing amazing at the moment. A friend of mine dropped off huge bunches of aquatic plants and I (of course) used them to my advantage...

Unfortunately not anymore

Without the light on it looks like a huge fog. Cant see a thing in there.

I just woke up to this

Thank you so much! You’ve all been such a great help and super knowledgeable! I’m only 17 and have been doing these things all on my own so I really look up to everyone here. Hopefully I’ll get to where you all are one day. :’)

The outdoor tank was 30 gallons I believe. I breed and sell my guppies. I use to have 50 plus fish but got a snail infestation.. So i got yoyo loaches but ended up with a gosh cannibalism massacre. They killed off more than half my fish and i was left with less than a dozen. I ended up putting...

I used everything from the outdoor tank for the 10 gallon! I figured it would be beneficial but then when all this happened .. Lots of questions

Yes I was using dip strips! And the filter for the 10 gallon was the same sponge filter I’ve been using the past year. I always rinse one sponge during water changes and leave the other for the good bacteria.

Yes I’ve been doing that since I noticed the issues! Glad to know I’m doing something right lol.

Oh no! I cant remember the exact numbers for the ammonia and nitrite but everything was “okay” from what I read. Maybe I didn’t have a good kit but i’ll definitely invest in the one mentioned above. That would explain the issue in the 10 gallon then :(

Just the plants!

The 10 gallon was running for about 2 weeks when I noticed the issue. I originally had all my guppies in a 30 gallon tub outside in my sun room. They’d been there for the past year but since it’s getting colder out, I didn’t want to depend on the heater to keep them warm. So I brought them in...

The temp is 76 degrees pH 7.5 hardness around 10 if i remember correctly

Very annoying. And scary I haven’t had this many fish die EVER.

Everything is normal. In my 10 gallon with the adults I had the same issue.. With some worse results. A lot of my adults seemed to be bleeding internally? When I tested the water everything was normal. Unfortunately those died as well. I removed the substrate and EVERYTHING and now have them in...
