i have a 30g tank and for some reason i have lost 3 fish in the past 2 weeks i dont know why....one second they are fine and the next they are belly up
this is what i have left
3 guppies
23 guppy fry
1 blue ram
2 powder gouramis
2 swordtails
1 kuhuli loach
1 common pleco

and the 3 that died were
2 guppies
1 angel fish

and i had 2 endlers die but that was because of my stupid strawberry tetra that has be rehomed since

really would like an idea of whats going on before i lose anymore of my fish
 
what is fine?
what are your levels? your definition of fine may be different from other's
 
yes that is fine. did any of your fish look like they were killed rather than died? (injuries, cuts ect.)

not the 3 the other 2 the tetra ripped thier tails off but its gone now and the other 3 were all after it was removed....if it was an illness would the 23 guppy fry which are about 2 weeks not die first?
 
So 2 guppies and 1 angel. When was the angel added. I have not kept guppies but have heard that they are not the most robust fish because they are bred so prolifically. Angels can be sensitive to water quality especially when young. Hard to say. Sometimes we lose a few fish. I think all you can do is keep up with your tank maintenance and test water every other day.

Also you should rehome your common pleco. Will get way to big for that tank and produce far to much waste. In a short time he will overwhelm the capacity of that tank with all the other inhabitants.

i had the angel for about a month as with the one guppy the other guppy i had for 5 days.......and for the pleco what is the max size of pleco for a 30g? the same question for a 20g?
