Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I have a new 29G tank and I set it up on December 21st. I purchased 2 striped catfish, 2 guppies, 1 algae eater and a dwarf frog on January 1st. I followed all of the directions on adding fish and my ph and ammonia were correct. My catfish ate one of the guppies (don't know if that has anything to do with it). Two days later my once hyper catfish begin to get yellow spots and slime all over them and within 12 hours of getting the spots the first one died. About 12 hours later the second one died. I went to the LFS and they checked my water and everything was fine. They told me I needed to get a few more fish and add aquarium salt. So, we got 4 danios and added them and the salt today. Within eight hours of adding the danios my algae eater died and now my other guppy and 1 danio are very lethargic and barely breathing. Also, my dwarf frog refuses to stay in the water and is hanging on for dear life on the edge of the tank. What should I do? What's going on? I'm trying to start this new hobby and I'm not getting off on the right fin. HELP!
