Hi all i have had a 90 litre tank running for a year now however i still do not have it stocked to my satisfaction. Nearly all of the fish i have bought have died through either fungal infections, ich or without any apparent reaason. At the moment i have four platys four long finned zebra danios three glo lite tetras and 1 neon tetras. The danios and the platys seem to be the only fish that do well in my tank and much as i love them i was hoping for a bit more variety as i have a deep 86 cm octagonal tank that holds roughly 92 litres. the ph is usually around 7 or 7.5 i have a good canister filter and lights etc. Some particular fish i would like are dwarf gouramies, red tailed black sharks as well as the brighter tetras and harlequins however i am open to any suggestions for any brightly coloured fish that will get along with the rest and are hardy. This may sound a little paranoid but last weekend i had five glo lites and lost two over night and another the following day. I do not want to turn into a fishkiller but i do not know why some fish randomly die. Please help me. i would also appreciate any clues as to why platys and danios seem to be the only fish to do well in my tank. Cheers
