Quick update though: There has been no more deaths and all fish seem to be recovering. Swimming around ect. Still a couple with clamped fins but they are on the road to recovery. Hopefully!

No, I cleaned my filter afterwards. Did it in tank water in a separate bucket which was dumped out. You guys might think I'm playing jokes or something but, honest to God, there seems to be no logical reason why this happned.

Just had 2 more fish die. Another Molly and 1 of my Angels. The Molly had Ich all over her but the Angel didn't have any visible signs of illness. I am baffled and heartbroken. The other seem to be swimming a bit better today but still not acting quite normal.

Also, I hadn't changed or cleaned my filter media in a long time. Maybe a couple months. It was totally black. It's taken care of now though

Thank you for your input. I am trying to figure out what happened. Nothing has changed drastically. Haven't added any new fish and levels have remained steady. So. Yeah. That's why I'm here because I'm stumped. It is all the fish. Only thing I can think of is over feeding them yesterday and...

Tap water shows between .50 and 1 ppm ammonia before the conditioner.

My tap water does show up as .25ppm in the ammonia test after the conditioner. Not sure what to do about that

I did a about a 40% wc this morning then did another 50% wc tonight. Levels are still the same. Will do another wc in the morning. Thank you for your time and patience. I appreciate it ?

My tank seems to be extremely oxygenated...The fish are always in the middle or at the bottom. But will look into adding another bubbler too.

Thank you so much. Will take a look at the articles. I do plan on doing something with the pleco. The nearest pet shop, which is where I bought it, is 30+ miles away and I don't always have time to make the trip. Have heard good things about prime so I'll be buying a bottle next time I go. And...

Just want to introduce myself to everyone ? About me: Wife and stay at home mother of 2 elementary grade kiddos. First time fish owner and loving it! About my fish/tank: 40gal tank housing 2 Black Mollies, 2 Red Platies, and 1 Common Pleco. Not planted(yet). A couple months ago, we were given...
