I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
I have a 55 gal tank with 4 female guppies, 1 male guppy and about 10 babies. There are 3 Cory Cats in it, one snail and one Pleco.
The tank has been cycled and my Ammonia and Nitrite levels are at 0. My Nitrate levels are between 5 and 10.
I do regular 1/4 tank water changes each week and use a water conditioner (Aqua Plus Tap Water Conditioner) with each change.
There is sufficient filtration, light and air.
But every time I add a new fish it dies after a couple of days. (One fish, usually a male guppy.) I am very slow in adding fish because I know it can mess up a cycle.
My ph levels seem to be fine also: usually around 7.
What can I do? I'm confused. Any ideas, Freshwater Aquairum Jedi?
