Shakespaere

[GuPPy_GaL]

Thatk you everyone for helping me with my problems but it seems there is another one...
When I bought My 2 Guppies (Shakespeare and Einstein) Everything was fine. Then Einstein went bye bye. So we got a new one, same kind named Dudley. Shakespeare was the kindest nicest fish ever...But I woke up and he was gone. The night before I had know there was something wrong but the mystery of what was the problem. Now I am thinking there must be something wrong with our tank and Dudley's time is comming too. There tank temp. is 77 degrees F and they have one plant in their tank and a statue. There is also 2 snails (no idea how they got in there). If you need any more ifo let me know please. I want to fix this problem!

Wise not to add fish for a least a couple of weeks when a fish has died.
How many gallons or litres is the tank.
Water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph.
Any symtoms to go on like bloating up, laying to oneside, heavy breathing.

 

[GuPPy_GaL]

It is a 6 gallon tank and we are feeding them topfin food. There were no symptons really.

 

[WILDER]

Without water stats it hard to say.
How long has the tank been set up.
Is there only two guppies in the tank and two snails.

 

[GuPPy_GaL]

Yes. There were only Him and another guppy and 2 snails. The tank has been up for about 3 weeks now.

 

[WILDER]

The tank hasn't finished cycling by the sounds of it.
Invest in a liquid test kit of your own.
Take sample of your water to the lfs to be tested and tell them to write the readings down for you.

 

[GuPPy_GaL]

I am sorry but i don't think the cycling problem is whats wrong. We took the water to the pet store and they said it was fine. We siphon the tank every week too! Well I am going to go bury him out in the yard next to poor Einstein......

R.I.P. Shakespeare and Einstein

Did they test the water before or after you added fish?
