Can you post your water stats. Ammonia ,nitrite,nitrate etc. And any info on what fish you have and the size of your tank etc.
 
[i'vecheckd all levels of water, nitrate ect. i have a 180 litre tank i've tried doing more water changes,i have
10 neons

5 male guppies
3 maleplatties
8 cooliloaches

this is all i have left only 1 corrie died but are all showing this symtom 4 a while
thanks
 
can you let us know what the water stats are in numbers, not just 'fine' please.

we need pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.

can you also give us the make and model of the filter and describe your maintenance routine to us.

what is the name of the medication that you're using, don't bother with the general tonic, they're no good.

first sign of trouble you should always do a large water change to make sure the water is clean and healthy, so once you've taken the readings you should do a 50% water change straight away.

you shouldn't keep male guppies with a male fighter, don't think this is the cause of your problem but it's probably not helping, the guppies long flowing tails look too much like another fighter and it stresses the fighter out, they either just get stressed or attack the guppies and they are more than capable of killing them. you also shouldn't really have tetra's with fighters, they nip at the fighters fins again stressing them out.

there's so many fish that you can't keep fighters with that it's generally recommended that they are kept in their own tanks of around 5 gallons so at some point in the future you may want to think about a little tank for him. He'd be much happier in there.
 
they do it for days on and off then they just die slowly. corriesbeen doing it for ages but not died yet
 
Agree with MW. We would need to know the numbers for ammonia, nitrite(NO2, pH, nitrate(NO3) and the make and model of the test kit the numbers were from. Also the make/model of the filter and what media it contains, and the usual maintenance habits for tank substrate and filter.

We'd need these things to get to a baseline for trying to diagnose things, as MW is saying.
