I recently got a very small tretra from the fish store and it always had this weird belly on it. Since adding this fish with 4 others to my tank my fish are quickly dying. I had 0 ammonia 0 nitrite 10 nitrate PH 7-7.2 water always between 77-78. Tank is over two months old

36 gallon. I have 2 dwarf gouramis (one died), 3 tiger barbs (2 died) 3 neon tetra (1 died) 3 glass catfish (all alive but 1 is starting to act funny) 1 guppy dies, 1 albino pletco it died. All fish have now died in the two weeks since adding 2 neon tretra, 2 tiger barbs and 2 glass catfish.

My ammonia levels were on the rise just got it from .5 to .25.
I took a picture of the neon that has a weird belly

Sounds like your water parameters are unstable. Your tank is probably still cycling.
Don't over Clean your filter media or change out your filter cartridge. Research Neon Tetra Disease. I'd stay away from Neons until your tank has significantly aged. Keep active on the forum, things will level out.
