this happened to me a long time ago too i was very new with the whole fish thing and i was broke and had no money and had to move. i couldnt move because i had fish so my roomate decided to put bleach in my tank killing them . finally getting to the point now. maybe someone is poisining your fish or pending on your water quality diffrent areas have diffrent water qualitys. i know someone who lived somewhere where the water quality was really bad . so he bought bottle water to fill his tank. he kept testing his tap water and found out that the water was not suitable for fish. by the way something got into his well

I only use tap water now. In stabilizing my tank I would just let it run empty with a product I was reccomended called TLC. Nobody is poisoning my fish nor do I want them to die, that's ridiculous! My cory died last night and want to know how to keep the rest healthy. I have my 2 gold gouramis in a hospital tank and being treated as well as the main 10g tank with my pleco and 3 other gouramis in it.

At least a 55g, or, if that's a common plec, a 75g.

The gold gourami will get rather aggressive with age and may go as far as to kill the rest of your gourami. You may want to consider rehousing them.


Just be aware that corys don't tolorate salt very well. I've had very good luck with using 'Quickcure' on Corys, loaches and tetras
Not true. For the short amount of time and dosage required to treat ich they will be unfased.

i believe it is a plain one...i am worried about getting that big of a tank when i am having trouble with a small one...or is my problem due to it being small?
