Hey everyone,
I recently had my whole tank die from some unknown disease.. could have been overstocking, a new fish was brought in with some sort of disease, or slightly bad water quality, I'm not sure!
I have a fish right now that is floating upside down, mainly on the bottom of the tank but if I brush it with my net it swims to the top then flips over again and slowly sinks back down. It's spine now looks curved, and I noticed it had a few white spots on it's fins and around it's face. I've been putting in melafix daily since Mon when I got the new fish, and put in pimafix last night. I've just put a multi cure into the tank now, and added more oxygen. I noticed yesterday that my gold gourami was either hovering at the bottom, or at the top of the tank, sometimes slightly laying down.. looked like it was sleeping cause when I moved it, it swam away and acted normally. One of my other barbs is also near the top of the water but the shark is fine, and so is the cory.
The tiger barb just died, I'd put it in a seperate container. What is wrong with the tank! Since Mon the water parameters have been great, 0 ammoniate and nitrite, I had the water tested at two seperate places and they both came up with the same results.. 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 0 nitrate, ph of 7 of slightly over, and hardness was spot on! My tank is only 65L and I have an under gravel filter as well as an internal filter, and a air stone which I have just changed to one of those tubes put across the entire bottom of the tank for the air. HELP!

, but I did a large water change and the rest of my fish are still healthy to this day.
