Big... how big? How many gallons/litres?

What are your readings for Ammonia/Nitrite/Nitrate? Is this a new tank? If so, was it cycled?

 

[SophieLT]

dunno how big and its been cycled, and been up for a year

i keep thinking that it could be "tiger barb disease" i dunno

 

[SiriusStarr]

Alright, well we still would need your levels for Ammonia/Nitrite/Nitrate... if one of those went beserk it could easily be why they're all dying.

Also, how often do you do water changes and when was the last one?

 

[WILDER]

Well you will have to find out how many gallons or litres the tank is, need stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, how many fish and which type.
Plus any symtoms before they die.

Measure your tank and then fill in here it will tell you.

well he guppie died 10 mins ago and i watched it!

he got stuck behind my thermometer then jumped out the water and back in, then he went beserk and started going up and down the sides of the tank and then hit the bottom and died.


i havent tested the Ammonia/Nitrite/Nitrate, plus the were undersides were ripped open?

 

[SiriusStarr]

There's not much we can do till we know the the amount of ammonia/nitrite/nitrate in your tank... sorry =(

Poor thing R.I.P.
Need to get stats done, if you don't have test kits take a sample of your water to the lfs and tell them to write the readings down for you.
I would recommend a water change.

 

[SiriusStarr]

I didnt appreciate that PM, Princess.

As for your tank, you either need to invest in a test kit or go to your LFS with a sample of water and ask them to test it. Its the only way to tell what killed all your fish.

I totally agree with the above poster, until you can give us more info on size of tank, stock list, and stats we cannot help you.
