Hi,

I think my tank has now recovered from a recent mysterious spate of deaths. In the space of a few days 5 tiger barbs & one platy died but me nor no-one on here could pin down exactly what was happening. It's been about 2-3 weeks now since anything has died and I'm looking to add some more fish in a week or so.

I realise Tiger barbs should be kept in 6 or more shoals so I'd like to re-stock them but seeing as they were the main ones to die I'm not sure if this would be the best thing to do (I currently have 2 TB's and are getting along fine with the other fish). My other option is to add some more zebra danio's to my existing 6?

Any ideas would be great. It's a 60L tank been set-up for about 4 months with an external oversized filter.

Thanks
 
What all do you have in there right now?

Also, I don't know for sure but 15 gallons seems kinda small to have a school of tigers or danios...
 
60 litres isn't really enough space for either species, despite what a lot of fish stores will tell you.

Have you had your water tested?

Tbh, I'd consider rehoming your TBs and getting some smaller fish.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news =(
