I am pretty new to aquariums, I have alway been fascinated with fish ( but my mom would never let me have a tank) but now I have one . Anyway I have had my tank setup for about a year now. Except every few months one fish dies. And I'm not sure why. They just start acting funny and stop eating and then its like they lose nerve control and try to swim but not very well. All the other fish are healthy. I do about a 25-50% water change every 2or 3 weeks the water here is basically right out of the mountain not chlorinated or anything,however it is pretty hard. Now I have noticed that one of my fish has a red spot on one side of his gill but not the other side he is one of the oldest fish in the tank what could it be? He acts normal. I have 4 rasboras 4 albino cat fish, 3 ottos, 1pleco, 1 black skirt tetra( I would like more if I have room), 2 glass catfish, 4 shrimp, and 3 glolight tetras. Thanks for your help!
Ps. The last casualty was a black skirt tetra really soon after I got the one I have now
