Should say just one type. Two plecos. I have added about 4 fish not including the tiger barbs over the last two months.

I use a siphon deal to suck up the extra debri. Also will try and help it break loose and let the filter catch as much about 30 minutes before I change it. Just one fish is dying :). I have added fish month and they are still fine just this one issue ??? Thank u just frustrating ;)

I appreciate the help and yes I did read it and that could be a possibility. When I change water in the tanks I I fill up 10 one gallon containers of water to add to the tanks upon the water level gets low. So I am doing pretty much what the articles says except weekly water changes. I had to...

Yes I am using a dechlorinate and additives to help the water. I believe if their was a big issue with water here my other two tanks would be suffering too. I have one tank that I have had for three years this tank is 22 months old and running my 40g tank is 18 months old. It is a chiclid tank...

Ok here is the situation. I have a 55g tank that has been set up for over a year. Originaly I have a had a Common Pleco for two years and recently he some how hurt himself in the tank and died. He had a scrap on the top of his head all the way to his upper fin. We purchased another Common Pleco...
