Thank you so much for all your helpful advice. It’s a minefield! I keep horses and thought they were complicated/hard enough, this is a whole different level. Have read through everything everyone has said and will be taking actions. Lesson learnt 🥴 poor fish

Goodness! They are tiny at the moment (maybe just over an inch?) we had no idea. Thank you for the advice, I definitely think a re-think is in order

How many should we have? Research wise it seemed right for the size of tank. We were warned the Siamese fighting fish may go for the mollys but he’s been fine. Quite a loaner & happy with the other fish (up until yesterday). I’m afraid I’m already out for the day so can’t give you dimensions...

We added 4 mollys & 6 mini tetras after 2 weeks of it running. Then 3 silver dollars (one of which I lost yesterday prior to posting on here) & 3 Corys a week on, then 4 sword tails (little orange and silver things) & a Siamese fighting fish 10 days on from that. They’d all been together for 8...

Thank you, I don’t have one at the moment but will be able to get one tomorrow. Currently switching out 75% of the water & will do the same tomorrow morning. We have live plants already, is there anything else I can add into help ease it?

Another good suggestion thank you, water out of the tap virtually the same as the tank. I’ve attached a photo of what we are testing against, sorry still quite new to all of this

Thanks, we had it running for 2 weeks & then took a sample in to local aquatic shop. Have added more in gradually over the last month. we added the last one in just under a week ago

As in when we test water using aqua dip strips, all hardness/ nitrate/chlorine/alkalinity/ph levels showing correct. We treat the water with tetra aqua safe & fluval cycle bio enhancer as per instructions when we do water changes. From what I’ve read it looks like oxygen levels but can’t work...

We have a fresh water tropical fish tank- 80L with the advised amount of fish. Have had it up and running for about 6 weeks with no dramas at all, last 24 hours it just won’t clear. We’ve lost a fish & the others are clearly stressed. 2x 40% water changes calms them down but only for a short...
