Hello
This is my first post.
I bought my 8yr old a fish tank in October a small 5.5gallon and bought 3 platy for it. The one gave birth and soon after they all got ich. Had to do research as I didnt know what to do. I removed all fish and treated tank. Everything died. I then cleaned the tank and filled it up again a few days later and left it without fish for 2 weeks. Got new fish this time 3 mollies which again died this time the last one died 2 days ago. This time my tank got brown algea. I washed and scrubbed the tank again and bought 1 ghost shrimp and 1 molly to go with my last molly that was still living. Well my last molly looks like it now has ich and is slowly dying. Why does this keep happening. I have treated the tank and everything and it keeps coming back. I have not treated the tank this time because it's too late for the fish. I read ghost shrimp would contact it is that true? I am slowly giving up on the whole fish thing.
