Blue And Red Gourami Dead

[ashlea87]

bout a week ago my blue dwarf was sick so we had to take him out, i just come home b4 and saw that my red one was dead 2. maybe he caught somthing from the blue one, now i have none. i doubt that ill get another one, even thought they are pretty.

Maybe you should try and diagnose the problem before dropping new fish into a tank where other fish have been dying?

Have you checked water stats, looked for obvious problems with the fish etc?

There have been. several health problems with dwarfs lately. I would definitively disinfect the tank before putting any others in, as there seems to be a sickness around which is transmitted through water. Look also at different other threads in this seccion.

i got new fish as i cleaned my tank out, coz my gouramis died off

i now have
a baby ghost knife
2 platties
2 balloon mollies
6 neons
siamese fighter (male)
and tht worm

the lady said it was a spinny eel loach or something, but i cant find any info.

my tank is 100 litres... ph. 7.0, temp, 27-28, amonia 0

100 litres is about 25 gallons - too small for the knife.

Please look up the kuhlie loach on google or these forum's fish index - does it look like your fish? You can trawl through http/www.loaches.com/
If not, look up 'spiny eel'. There are several species - most grow rather large and you should ask about them in the oddballs section.

It isn't possible to suggest what will work with your current fish without knowing what they actually are or how much room you have left. Certainly nothing should go in if you plan to keep the knife.
