I made a post about this maybe 2 or 3 days ago. Just wanted to see if I could get some new feedback/opinions.
Basically I had two guppies, two mollies, 6 corys snails and shrimp. EVERYTHING was perfectly fine, the water quality, the plants, the fish everything!
I decided to add some more fish, I bought 4 more male guppies and a honey gourami. For the first three days after I got them, a guppy died everyday with a missing tail (it was deteriorated). I still have one guppy from that purchase who has survived.
My Honey gourami's tail is getting blacker by the day. I feel bad about how it looks but my gourami is acting fine! Before the guppies died, they showed signs of being sick but the gourami has shown nothing.
Those 5 fish that I've had problems with all came from the same PetSmart, So two days ago I went to a different PetSmart and bought a Clown Pleco and 6 Neon Tetras. Everything is going fine so far with those newest fish.
Anyone know why the 5 fish that I bought were so troublesome? None of my original fish that they were housed with got sick or died while with the 5 "bad" fish. Could it be that the PetSmart takes bad care of the fish so I got them when they were already sick or super stressed?
I just find it hard to believe something is wrong with my tank if only the new fish from THAT PetSmart get sick.
Thanks for everyone's advice and for viewing this!
