Thank you for all your help everyone!

Sorry for all the questions! I really appreciate your help because i really would like to know better techniques and there is so much conflicting online

The fish may not make it and we may just start over where they might be carrier's of whatever we had. They are in our qt tank now but i can't decide what to do with then they aren't more than $5 a peice and do look very pale. The cat fish kind of looked like he May have some blood streaking. So...

We do have 5 fish left but they all look very pale. What concentration do you dilute the bleach too? I'm assuming you just fill the tank with the diluted bleach water and run your filter after wiping it downAnd then i know you soak the tank inn dechlorinator. Will the tetra aqua safe or stress...

We have incredibly hard water

Also what's the best way to lower ph i know it was a bit high but the ph drops never seemed to drop it far enough. Do bubble stones really increase ph? ( some other fact picked up on a forum) whoever said fish were the easiest pet for kids totally LIED. Our dog is definitely not this difficult...

We are in the process of cleaning and starting the main tank over but have probably already messed that up. Some forum said to use vinegar so everything has soaked in vinegar now it's diluted vinegar water going through the filter. Then well drain and refill a couple times. I'm super worried...

We have 2 neon tetra rainbow shark long tail red minor tetra. Cory catfish They look super stressed but no peeling gills. The catfish looks a little pink. The minor tetra is kind of gray and translucent. Shark is super pale. To be honest we really have no clue. I think we lucked out for 2...

Ya i knew we'd have to start over on the good bacteria. Do you do anything special or i just let my water cycle for a month prior but never added anything special although I've seen products for that

Thanks so much it's so confusing to try to understand ask the ins and outs when there are so many chemicals!!! Have you ever used paragaurd by secheem? That's the med i was thinking about getting for the quarantine of new fish or would you just start with the ones you mentioned. I liked that it...

Did you do any medicated food? And do you ever.

Sorry like i said were really new to fish illness. Will those medications treat pretty much everything? I'm trying to decide which to buy and need a fairly versatile combo as i don't want to spend more on meds than the less expensive fish we buy. Its just a small 40 gal tank for a hobby that our...

Are you concerned about the fish who lived still having trace es of it and recontaminating your new fish? I noticed my cory has some red along his body but i don't know if that's because the transfer to quarantine was crazy stressful as it wasn't an established tank. How long would it take to...

And what to mail order that covers most disease fit future encounters. Looking into paraguard by seechem as it doesn't require filter to be removed. Inn sure the filter being taken out for 4 days. Per instructions for the anti fungal was a terrible idea.

That was the problem. They all seemed to get something different. I posted a week ago in an attempt to save them since I the 2 years we've had a tank haven't had illness so really didn't know what to do. Our gold barbs got red right at the base of their fin. Tried malafix. Then our angel just...

Have no idea what happened. All the sudden they were sick and nothing helped. Any ideas on medicated fish foods? Tried lots of water treatments but nothing worked.

These are the first fish we have lost inn the 2 years

We have had our tank now for About 2 years with the same fish and just replaced a neon tetra. About a week after adding him he died unexpectedly. About a week later our beautiful angel died with no unusual outer signs other than she all the sudden started swimming from the top of the tank to the...
