Dead in a sec

[scrogs]

In my fish tank I have 2 African dwarf frogs, 2 neon tetras, 1 cory catfish, and 2 mollies. I used to have 9 mollies but 7 died. I had 8 baby fish that were 7 months and 5 months. The other one is the dad of them. I came home and 5 of the baby fish were dead. I left again for three hours and came back to find 2 more baby mollies dead. It has only effected the mollies. I'm now down to the fish I had before, 1 baby molly, and the dad. The only thing we changed was the frog food. We channged it to zoo meds aquatic frog and tadpole food. I read the lable and it said nothing about the effects of it. Please help.

What size tank? Also what are the water parameters and water change schedule?

Are all these fish kept in the same tank? How big is the tank? And was there any physical damage marks on the dead fishes? Mollies really are brackish water fish so they like some salt with the water but they usually can survive no salt. Not sure if that could have affected it.

I change the water once a month and the tank is about 20 gallons.

Yes, all of the fish are in the same tank. The tank is about 20 gallons. I didn't see any visible physical damage. In my tank there is no salt and its been like that for roughly a year. (thats how long i had the tank.) My mollies have lived in that tank their entire life besides the adult.

How much once a month? Once a month is not often enough to be changing the water. Do you own a test kit?

Changing the water once a month is definitely not enough. You need to change it like once a week. And I agree with mumma, do you have a test kit?

How big were the babies? My guess, if you change the water only once a month, is that the parameters are off balanced and something(s) is too high. That might be what killed them ( ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, ph ).

Agreed. Change the water once a week.
