I have a 28g which used to have 6 cories, 3 platies, 2 apple and 1 mystery snail. Its been cycled for about 3 months. I started out with 1 female velitail betta, then added 3 albino cory catfish, then added 2 more cories, all was well. Then i added 3 platies, 2 male 1 female. All seemed well, not sure if the platies caused the problems. I then about a week later added a very sick almost dead albino cory, which i was told if it died i could get a full refund, and it had no sign of diesease, just looked llike it had been put in a bowl full of acid, and then burned and exoerimented on. Sure enough, as expected it died1 day after being bought. I found all my fish eating it and promptly removed what little of the remains there were. About 3 days later another cory who was in perfect condition until i found him was dead, the other fish were eating him. 2 days later my betta died, no signs of anything on the dead body or before death. I woke up this morning to find another cory laying on the bottom almost dead, appears to be barely living, his eyes are all inflamed and red, very pale. And i cant find one of the male platys, and i have almost nothing for him to hide in, only silk plants, sand and driftwood, filter is sealed and top is secured. Both my apple and mystery snails appear to be sick. ive ran tests daily on everything with my api liquid master, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 15, ph 8.2 which is normal for my tank. I examine and perform head counts 5 time daily and no sign of a diesease or agression, no injury or anything abnormal. Ive not changed feeding scheldule or what i feed, nor have i changed water changes or added any chemicals except for my usual declorinator. Whats happening? I have a 150w heater kept at 79-80, penguin 150, freshwater natural sand, designed for fw aquariums, lightly spread out, not deep enough for gases and stirred by fish, and silk and driftwood. i also have lights and a secure lid. I change 5-10 gallons once a week and clean the sand.Feed every other day tropical flakes betta flakes and pellets and bottom feed wafers. Treat all water with aquasafe. Please help, everything seems fine at one miniute then the next there dead, with no signs of any abnormal things.
