I need some help!
I have lost too many fish in the past 3 weeks. 2 dwarf gouramis. neither looked ill, both happy and healthy, then 1 day later.... gone. second Gourami died 12 days after the first. I still have 2, The 2 gouramis that had fin rot, probably from cramming through a decoration hole that is too small.
(I broke the deco. to remove Gimlli the red gourami on Sunday and he is doing fine.) But the 2 that had NO damaged fins of other signs of stress died, suddenly.
Also lost 2 honey Gouramis, only had them for 4 + 5 days. Again, no signs of illness. they were playing in the plants and eating in the AM, come home on Mon. and Tues. to find 1 died each day.
We have lost 6, or 7 Neon tetras, over the last 3 weeks. But who knows who could have bitten them. 2 were stuck to the filter intake.
1 Male dalmation Mollie, Healthy and playful, then Gone. 3 weeks ago, 10 days after he was put in the tank.
2 guppys, I think they were sexually harrassed, cause we had an even number of males, to females.
not sure, but I saw them nipping at her butt.
Then this morning I see a blue Mickey Platie has died, also harrassed by the Pansy Guppys (fancy).
So, I could see her death as stress related.
Water stats. Am. is 0 / nitite 0 / nitrAte 10ppm / PH 7.5 / Slightly hard water. / Temp is 75-76 fahr.
30% weekly gravel vac water change.
flake food, frozen Hikari bloodworms, Shrimp pellets,
and now Anti bacterial, anti parasite food, for 2 days so far.
Treated with melafix, and Pima fix for 4 days, Sat.Sun.MonTues. should I continue Medicine food, and melafix.
poop seems normal. light brown.
Carbon and zeolite, changed every month.
Live plants are growing well. (Swamp?) Grass.. Java Moss and Mini pine tree looking stuff, that the Mollies and Gouramis love to nibble. Water lilys, growing like a weed, 3 new lilly pads in 10 days.
I hope you can point me in some direction, as I'm dizzy with anxiety.
Thank You All!

on the sides of 3 tetras, and a mollie has a white-ish patch on her fin.
