For the last 2 days I have lossing fish. I should start with I just finished curing ich, which I last a tetra to, and one of the fish, a guppy I was holding on to for my mother had some fungus on it. That fish died 3 nights ago after I found him stuck to the filter. He was only in the tank a day with the fungus, from what I saw, I look at my fish and inspect every morning at feeding time.
Yesterday I woke up to find a dead molly, and my betta acting lethrargic and basicly just drifting through the water, he would go under the filter and get swept away. I also saw that one of my emerald cories was acting different, swiming at the top and sort of doing what the betta was doing. I took them both out immediatly. They both died shortly after. The betta look perfectly normal but my cory had a white patch covering its mouth, maybe velvet, not ich. After this I was worried so I did a 100% water change to get anything that could have been in the water out.
Then this morning I woke up to find my female betta dead. My other molly is breathing a little fast.
I have never had an issue like this before in the 5 years of owning fish and can't think of what could be causing this. I just bought the 2 molly's and 4 glo fish for my tank and I'm wondering if these could be the issue. The tanks which I got them from were fine, no fish were dead or looked sick. The glow fish and my other fish even my other cories, which are sensitive to everything are doing fine. I've been watching carefully and no one else seems to be feeling funny.
Tank- 10 gallon
Current Occupents- 2 head & tail light tetras,2 cories, 4 glofish and a black molly
Deaths-1 guppy, 2 bettas 1M 1F, a black molly and 1 Emerald cory
Parameters-
Temp-82 ( being safe after the ich for another week)
PH 7.0
NH3-0
N02-0
N03-10
I have 1 bamboo shoot in there if that helps.
I didn't quarentine the fish because I just moved and have no room for my 45 and 100g here so i suficed to my 10g, which use to be my quarentine.
Anyone have any ideas becuase I'm clueless. Could the fungus be causing the other fish to die? I'm not fimiliar with fungus, never delt with it. But it was cotton like and looked like what was described. Help please. Thanks
