My Fish.

[Animation]

A couple of fish have died rescently i first bought the tank and then got only a few hardy fish,
I had 3 clownloaches, 3 Rams, a talking catfish and some black phantom tetra's.
After a while they all started to fall ill and rest on the bottom of the tank unable to swim, All of my Clown-Loaches died my Talking Catfish died. 3 of my Phantom Tetra's died.
I thought i may have been the quality of the water so i got it tested again. They told me the water was fine.
About a month on my Rams have turned a dark colour.
Can you help me?

Sounds like new tank syndrome to me, check this link out on treating and avoiding new tank syndrome;

You need to go to your lfs(local fish store) and buy your own test kits for ammonia ,nitrItes and nitrAtes and test your own water ASAP- chances are that if your tank is new and your fish are dying, water quality is not going to be good.
How many gallons is your tank and how long has it been set up for now?
Do you use dechlorinator plus any other things you may have added to your tank recently?
What has been your tank cleaning maintanence regime so far and how often do you do it ?

have you cycled the tank before adding fish? (takes about one month)

cycling a tank with rams and clown loachs seems like an expensive proposition.

and I agree, if most are dying, water quality is most likely the culprit. some lfs do the tests too quickly, don't follow proper instructions, thus getting inaccurate results. Buy your own kit (about $35 can) and do them yourself, well worth it.

have you checked the temp. of the water....too cold or too warm isn't good either.........buy a book and read up on the type of fish you/want to have....that'll help tons.

best of luck.

Cheers mate, just to let you know i'm from england so we don't really work with gallons howver i know the tank is 126ltr

your tank is about 33 US gallons, so it was over stocked before the fish died. I agree with everyone else, your tank probably is suffering from new tank syndrome, wehre the bacterial filter isn't able to handle the waste yet. Please get your ammonia, nitrite, and nitrates checked ASAP. Also, begin doing 25% water changes daily until the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrates are at zero.
