If you've raised the temperature do you have enough surface disruption for enough oxygen? Keep doing changes I'd say!

what are your water parameters? Did you temp match your pwc water when you did a pwc? It's quite possible that they died due to ich, but without knowing the water parameters, it's impossible to say.

You need to get a liquid test kit asap. For the time being, I would suggest daily 50% pwc's to be on the safe side. Make sure you're doing a thorough gravel vac as well.

First, do a 50%+ treated, temp matched water change.

Wait one day and do another.

Repeat until fish stop dieing. There is a basic level of commitment that needs to bet met to properly keep any animals (time and money). If keeping fish appropriately is not within your budget, maybe fish aren't right, right now.

Gotcha. I don't mean to make assumptions. Sorry for that. The good news is that Prime is cheap and all you need besides that commitment. If you are ready to do some work with daily water changes for awhile, you can have a healthy (low cost) tank in no time.

BTW- flexible tubing is available at most hardware stores for a much lower price than the gravel vacs.

Also, test kits aren't too expensive online. I got an API master test kit for only $17 from fosterandsmithaquatics.com. they've got $8.99 shipping for entire order regardless of size. Or try Amazon.com
