Very bad news

[Tropjunky]

I woke up this morning to find that all my fish have died, every single one. the fish i have are in my sig. My test kit shows zero nitrites nitrates and ammonia PH unchanged.

I'm go to my lfs to get a full range of tests done on the water. (wot tests are recomended).

OMG, I am so sorry TJ.

Is there any sign of disease? Is all the equipment working? I dunno what other tests you could do other than what you have done, maybe get those done again to be sure they are ok.

They all seemed fine the night b4 (about 9hrs ago) and i've retested using 2 different kits all equipement is woring. could it be natural causes like age. theres not sign of desease or anything like that.

When was your last water change?
Crap in the water?

So sorry to hear what happened

 

[karrihug]

that is so sad. little fishies

 

[Joviella]

Thats horrible.......so sorry. I hope you find out whats caused this. I doubt its an age thing, as you wouldn't lose all your fish at once. Are your heater and filter working as they should be?

 

[wetwetwet]

gutted for you mate

Unlikly to be age... - not all at the same time

Did you do anything to the tank over the weekend - water change, add any meds or additives, new fish, plants or decor?....

My last water change was less than a week ago and my filter and heater was and is still working

Gutted for you mate, I realy am .

Any chance there's been a power outage in your area during the night, causing loss of heat and filtration, but come back on before you got up, so everything looks normal ?

Oh how awful I'm sorry to hear about that. Could any toxins have entered the water? Like if someone had been using varnish or paint or something in the same room as the tank?

 

[Tropjunky]

well my sister has been painting her room but thats up stairs and most of the family know that i'll kill them if thay do anything to them

 

[Opcn]

was probably the paint fumes

 

[cjmartin_72]

OMG I am so sorry to hear that. I can't even imagine how you feel.

 

[Helium_Junkie]

Could well have been the fumes... you may want to wait until the painting is done before adding more fish...

 

[Cheese Specialist]

was probably the paint fumes

Yeah, it has to have been caused by something. If the fish were healthy and the equipment working then I can only imagine that it was an outside problem, such as contamination bu fumes of paint/polis/deorderant and so on.

It really is a shame.
