So as a kid I had fish and to be honest all I did was feed them never changed water never cleaned the tank bought all kinds of fresh water fish from Wal-Mart they lasted a few years even added minnows I'd catch in creeks no problems. Now I have a 10 gallon tank same size as I had as a kid and got 2 small koi 4 rosy red minnows a pleco and a peacock eel the ph is at 7.0 nitrate and ammonia is 0.0. After seeing the koi had cotton wool disease I went out bought the bacterial treatment and with in 4 hours of the first treatment of 5 ml (proper amount for 10 gallons per the directions) the pleco died. This is when I tested the water everything was good. I came home this morning two of the minnows died and sill no elevated ammonia and the ph is still at 7 any ideas on where to go. Oh I have a bubble wall thing is it possible that the water is circulating too much with the filter and bubble wall? I'm at a loss and I'm trying to keep these fish for my daughter she thinks it's cool and I can't swap fish out with out her knowing and she gets upset. Any ideas would be great
