help me please I am puzzled.
In January we bought a bigger tank 250 gallon. After a few weeks we put our old stock in - Mollys, Platys, 1 giant danio, 2 congo tetras, 6 Neons and 2 glowlights, 4 frogs and 1 golden bristlenose. On 2nd Feb we added some rainbow fish, 2 blue 1 red and 2 booseman. We also added 3 tiger synodontis, a couple of red fat lipped gouramis and 3 dwarf gouramis. a while after we added more neon tetras, and 3 cockatoo cyclids. Our tank is well planted (about 25 in all) with rocks and bogwood. We have never had any problems......... UNTIL NOW ARGHHHHHH. last week we lost 2 rainbow fish, no idea why or how, we put it down to just "one of those things" But now out tank has an outbreak of whitespot, we are treating it with protozin. one of the mollys has taken to living in one corner of the tank - strange, One of the cocatoo cyclids died, then the other cockatoo cychlid started hovering at the top of tank and has now died, the colour seemed to drain from the tail fins. One of the blue rainbows has a strange growth on his top lip, it lookes like a permanent bubble, and is see through just like a bubble and he has started to twitch. Our female gourami is now laid on its side on the substrate looking as though it will die any second, no strange loss of weight or anything, just breathing very shallow and not moving. Fear I will lost the rest of my live stock. Water tested to see if filter was performing ok and the shop said it was spot on. Cant think what else is killing my fish. Will have to carry out full water test I guess, but can anybody shed any light on my fishs behavour, growth etc and give me some advise.
