Sat in front of the tanks
Yes im still having probs in my big tank
40 U.K Galls
0.5 NitrAte
0.0 NitrIte
6.8-6.9 P.H
It houses various small community fish i.e Neons,Zebra Danios stuff like that
The fish that have died are
1 Black Neon-No visable signs of infection i.e wounds,sores
1 Zebra Danios with a huge Stomach
1 Harlequin-No visable signs of infection i.e wounds,sores
1 male Silver tipped tetra that i was treating for Mouth Rot
1 Female Silver tipped Tetra that had tail fungus for weeks and shown no signs of improvement
1 Pristella Tetra that seemed to have popeye type eyes
I change 25 % of water weekly(or twice weekly if i have time)
I use Nutrafin Aqua plus with every water change adding 1 capful to 15 gallons which it states on the bottle!
No sprays or air fresheners or paint anything like that are never used near the tanks
I also have another tank whch i use the same water cond and obviously same tap water,with no problems what so ever,this tank houses Rummy Nose Tetras and they are or can be very very fussy with water conditions,ive also recently had neon fry,guppy fry and got cory fry in at the mo.They have all grown in this tank with no problems! So i know the tap water cant be suspect.
 
You have a bad bacterial infection in your tank, you will need a bacterial med like anti internal bacteria med by interpet, or waterlife myxazin.
Has the fish lost any weight, or have a bent spine.
 
the harlequin seemed to curl but only when he died,i was thinking of stripping and starting again,Would you recommend it? :/ its just ive had so so many probs with this tank now im getting pretty pis@ed off with it if you pardon the expression
