Aquarium Advice Apprentice
So over the past month I've lost 4 fish with very similar deaths. They all seem to sit on the bottom of the tank for about a day and then will swim uncontrollably (spinning, upside down, sinking). A few hours later they die.
I do 2-3 water changes a week since this started happening. Eventually treated with Eyrthromycin which seemed to help but then another one died. Then, I tried General Cure and that helped me for about 2 weeks with no deaths.
Even though the symptoms indicate possible swim bladder, I really don't think that's it. I only feed my fish every other day and have been switching how I feed them so they don't eat at the surface.
The only other thing I can think of is that my aquarium stand is an old Cedar dresser and that's where I've been keeping all of my fish stuff (net, vacuum, food). Could this be toxic to them?
Any information would really help as I am extremely stumped by this.
