Did you cycle? Have you looked at the p.H, GH, KH, ammonia etc.? Is the tempature good?

 

[bobbicus]

me thinks you added too many fish for the bacteria to cope with ???

how long has your tank been running?

need to post your water stats, behaviour of fish or signs & symptoms etc etc

Once again, it is difficult for us to help you if you dont tell us more about your tank:

Have you cycled(let the tank mature)?

Have you got an Ammonia Test kit?

How Long has your tank been running?

How Large is you tank?

tis a 90 l tank

Have you got a master testing kit? If not I'd recommend you getting one ASAP because it'll help you get an idea of how well your tank is doing. I know you chose not to cycle your tank - did you use that Tetra stuff you were talking about in the other thread?

I think without a proper test of your tanks stats it's going to be hard to help, but I would imagine as you have fish including a plec in there and haven't cycled, it's probably a high ammonia issue? Others will be able to advise you better.

hi @ brownbread

WE NEED more info about your tank stats - water params etc signs and symptoms - otherwise we are just guessing in the dark!!!

i would agree with last poster - seems to be ammonia or nitrIte - as you have not cycled your tank and just put fish in there - seems like "new tank syndrome"

please get a master test kit ASAP!!!!
