i have a gravel vac,and as i mentioned earlier, my tank is cleaned out every week normally, but i have been on holiday which was why it hadn't been for two weeks!correct me if im wrong but you cant clean out a tank when your in a different country!
i know to supplement their diet, i use pleco algae wafers, catfish pellets and slices of cucumber. they also eat the live bait which goes in too!im not stupid!
what i meant was that my bottom feeders do an excellent job in searching for food that they uproot any waste which the filter then picks up!!!therefore my bottom feeders and filter do an excellent job!
no more of my fish have died, they arent stressed, iv seen them stressed before, and they definately are not now.
some of you have been more helpful than others, and by you bangin on about my fish being stressed has not helped, im the one seeing my fish, not you lot, i know if my fish are stressed or not!my paremeters are excellent, despite my tank being apparently overstocked, well according to some of the theories on the web, im not overstocked!now thankyou, and goodbye!

While it is clear you are not open to suggestions or help, I do hope the best for your fish. Personally I think you will continue to see issues if you refuse to address your stocking problems. Especially as most of what you tell us is ‘excellent’ in your tank is based solely on what you think is good enough, instead of looking at the symptoms, and in turn, the likely causes (stress/over crowding/poor water conditions) of your fish’s problems. Much goes on in a tank that we can't see with our eyes, or measure with little tests. However, this tank is yours and we can do nothing except to give you our advice and hope you the best.

Well said.

I agree that stress caused by overstocking itself can increase mortality rate. If you refuse to addess the problem, just think of the fish dying as your little ecosystem trying to get to the correct balance. After enough fish dies, your tank will become stable. I am sure you are going to buy more fish, setting off the cycle all over again.
