Hi jsoong,
You've helped me before with questions and I was hoping you could help once again. Many of my fish have died off in the past couple of months; yesterday a neon, a male guppy over the weekend with dropsy, today i was doing my weekly pwc and found my year old snail's shell empty and it gone. I had 15 neons and i'm down to 4, 11 platys are down to about 5, i lost the momma platy to dropsy a couple of months ago. A female betta was lost to dropsy last month. Could i have a dropsy/bacteria issue? The more aggressive fish seem to be fine; an angel, 2 loaches, a pleco, a catfish, and the frog are seeming to be okay. I use an api test kit (with the test tubes, not the strips) and all the numbers come back perfect- ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate about a 5, ph is at 7.6. Do you gave any idea of what could be causing this happen? Do you know what the average life expectancy is for these kinds of fish? Thank you so much for you help!!!
