Hi,
I have (or rather, had) a 29 gallon tank with: 3 angels, 3 Platy, 4 jumbo neons, 1 dwarf gourami and 1 apple snail.
I had successfully left the aquarium running with a daily automatic feeder several times. This time when I got back after 3 weeks, my aquarium was in a bad state. Although the automatic feeder was working, I lost all my Platy and 2 of my jumbo neons. The last Platy to die seemed to have a few small white dots on the tail leading me to suspect it was infected with Ich. I am not quite sure of this. I also noticed these following changes after I came back:
1. One of the remaining Neons has lost almost all it's blue color.
2. The apple snail just seems to be floating on the surface of the water. Earlier it used to stay on the bed. I thought it was dead but once in a while, it clings on to the plastic trees.
3. The smallest of the 3 angels is acting very weird, darting about the tank at the slightest movement outside the tank.
Can anyone please explain this? What do I do next?
