Aquarium Advice Regular
I'm so upset and frustrated. We've had for a while a platy that wasn't acting quite right, but we didn't know how to treat him because he was showing no obvious symptoms except for lethargy and eventually he stopped coming out to eat. Then last week, he had started to breathe heavily, and right before he died he lost his ability to stay upright.
Wednesday night I noticed one of the guppies started breathing really heavily too and acting funny, so we went to Petsmart to see what we could find. I ended up getting Tetra Lifeguard since we didn't know exactly what was wrong. By the time we returned 30 minutes later, the guppy was dead. The platy finally died on Saturday. And today, one of my original guppies, who was totally fine last night was dead.
Water parameters are Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 20.
I have 2 guppies and a dalmation molly left in the tank. I also have a mystery snail but he's living in a bucket while the medicine is being dosed. They all look fine right now, but that doesn't seem to mean much any more. I'm really starting to get upset because I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've been researching all kinds of fish diseases and none of them have shown any symptoms except for the heavy breathing, and of course, death.
