fish dying

[fishcatch22]

There are many factors that can affect the level of chlorine coming out of the tap in a water supply, as some of us are well aware.

This however has little bearing on the subject of the original post... The OP has a serious problem, or series of problems going on, and I think that trying to address those is far more important that debating with importskyline as to the quality of his dad's water supply, unless his dad was the OP...

Can we try to get back on topic now?

hey, i agree. we should get back on topic. just waiting for the OP to update us...

We feed the fish and we change the water twice a week... But they still never survive. We are using a fresh water directly from our faucet. And we use a detergent soap in cleaning the aquarium, then we let it dry first before pouring a water. Then we put some accessories like plastic fishes,seaweeds sea sand and stones, then the breather.Can you help me out of this?

I have some additional questions (aside from what people have already mentioned) after reading that.

1) you don't really mean "sea sand" right? Cuz you wouldn't use "sea" sand in a freshwater aquarium. When I think "sea" I think saltwater tank.

2) what kind of stones? Some stones leach minerals into your water.

3) are your decorations actually meant for an aquarium? Just puting a plastic toy fish, for instance, into your aquarium could be bad. Some plastics can give off toxins.
