My poor fishies. Can someone help? Since this topic...
http

...the other Platy died too. Symptoms included darting around, hanging around near the top of the tanklooking like he was eating at the surface, not gasping? And not eating when I fed them. Then... I had 2 Neon Tetra deaths following that. They seemed to get sunken bellies after the Platies came in, then it seemed to get better. With the first Neon death - I didn't spot any other symptoms, and the second - had swimbladder like crazy near the top of the tank (first I'd seen of it), and died very suddenly. It was horrible. All the fish died in a very short space of time after I got the Platies (that's four deaths in total).
So now I have 3 poor Neon Tetra, and one of them has dropsy like symptoms, not eating. A droopy belly but with a bit that sort of goes in in the middle. I'll insert pics though they're not very good. The other two have no visible symptoms.
I've wanted to treat but even scouring the net just can't seem to figure out what's wrong with my fish! There seem to be so many different and specific things it can be. Help?
Stats: PH 7.25, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 20, Ammonia 0. 30L tank. Water is now completely clear, since that last post.
