I established my tank around 10 weeks ago levels were all perfect and properly cycled before adding any fish. First I added 4 plates, 1 male and 3 female. No problems whatsoever lots of babies saved 10 and put in nursery all thriving.
Added 6 neon tetras 5 weeks ago. All great no problems happy healthy fish.
Then Thursday around 5.30pm I added 6 male guppies. By Saturday evening 1 was dead, it appeared to spend all it's time at the top of the tank and was being swept around by the filter current, it seemed unable to swim around only it's gills we're moving.
By Sunday night another was dead. This one had acted strange from the off. Constantly swimming in the filter slipstream,not moving around the tank like the others just on a "treadmill" constantly swimming in the slipstream. Then Sunday it seamed unable like the other to swim around and was spending all it's time at the surface gills just moving until it finally dies and just floated.
Today a neon which had been acting very subdued the day before acted the same way appearing to be paralysed and lost all it's colour from halfway down its body to the end. It's now died.
I have another guppy acting odd spending all it's time at the surface it's swimming sporadically but jets off and appears to have no concepts and just crashes into the side of the tank then doesn't seem to move for ages just floating at the top. As I'm typing it's just sunk to the bottom and is lying on the sand!
My poorly tetra is acting very subdued staying in one place login the water at the back of the tank hidden.
I went to maidenhead aquatics this morning and was given eSHa minaroll. I've added 19 drops as per the instructions. I tested my water this morning with Ali master test kit and took a sample of water to the shop for double checked and got the same results as advised at the beginning of my thread.
I'm sad I've lost fish everything was going so well till I added the guppies. Have they brought some disease into my tank? I really don't want to loose any more fish please help if you have any useful advise I would greatly appreciate it.
It's my first post on here so apologies if I've gone on just wanted to give all the information.
