Being that you quoted another post from somewhere, I'm not sure which information I should be going by. So, I'll just go by what you posted.

What are your tank levels? How large is your tank? Is there anything else in the tank (fish wise)?

God Bless,

Need more info.
Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.
Are the tiger barbs bloated, do they struggle to get off the bottom of the tank or top.
What do you feed your fish.

Hi sorry Ive never been on here before , not quite sure what I am doing and how to e-mail in the right place!! LOL. Right tank holds 55L.I have a mixture of : neons , Harliquins, 2*angel fish, Couple of danios, black widows and mollys, about 25 in all.I have had the tank up and running since Easter no problems UNTIL now.I have just added new real plants which I havn't had for a while and a piece of bog wood the other pants are plastic ones.
All the other fish are fine, I started off with 6 tigar barbs and lost the 3rd last night and now the 4th is looking at going the same way.

Thanks for any help

The first step in determining why your barbs are dying is to eliminate the possibility of bad water quality. We need water stats.

Ammonia?
Nitrite?
Nitrate?
PH?

Cheers.

Your tanks way overstock need to look at your water stats.
The tanks is abit on the small side some of the fish you keep like angels, black widows, and tiger barbs.
