That's what I am trying now is a new fish less cycle. Didn't know what else to try. Where I am the lfs is bad or worse. The price of being in Alaska. Thank you for the ideas and it is slightly reassuring that it wasn't something I had blatantly done wrong.

Is it possible to get 5 bad batches of fish?

I really am at a loss. Even when setting up my first tank not knowing did I have death like this.

I know, it's really frustrating. 11 dead fish in a week breaks my heart.

Yup. Wondering if sealant is making the tank toxic. I am running out of ideas....and fish.

Lol, no. I have 4 other fish tanks. Only hot water.

I used prime, but I am not on city water, and my baseline test of well water is clean.

First betta was alone. Next one was from lfs in a community tank. Last one never even flared at the tetra.

I moved all the media, the filter and all the water. It was his own tank with 4 more gallons of water

Trace ammonia while unhealthy should not kill a fish and was doing daily pwc to address it. First I added 1 betta, dead. Then 1 betta and 3 rasbora, rasbora didn't live the night. Next 1 betta and 5 neon, neon made it 24 hrs, betta 2 days, dead.

Ph is about 7.4. I don't know that betta had been in that 1.5 alone for almost a year just fine. I have a few plants in there and am wondering if I should start a full ammonia cycle. In just over a week I have lost 3 betta, 3 dashboard and 5 tetra. If it is a bug how do I know which one?

Oh I also added prime and small dose of Milafix and prinafix

Soak bag 15 min, add tank water 15 min, add more tank water 10 min then add fish

I recently purchased a 5.5 gal upgrade for my betta who was in a 1.5 gal. I used water, substrate and the filter from the old tank and let it sit for a day, amm .25 and no nitrite an 10 nitrate do I moved my little fish. He died 2 days later. Now over a week later, all water conditions fine...

Good luck with that, my betta will not tolerate any other tank mate. If you want a community betta, buy one at the lfs that is already in a community tank.

I live in an earthquake prone area, Alaska, and had planned on building my own stands with at least about a 2 inch lip the tank fit in directly. In bad shaking the glass will shatter regardless, the only thing you can really stop is things sliding off. All breakables on shelves are there with...

Did you find anything?

The plants will be fine, soak them for awhile in fresh water before you put them back in. I just completed cycling a 20 high with plants and the plants did just fine. What kind of plants did you get?

Have you asked the cats about where they are going? :) Have you pulled everything out of the tank and cleaned looking for the bodies?

I didn't think you could put the blue ram in with a DG. That is something to think about!

Goodness, decisions, decisions! So many fishes, so little tank space!

I thought the killifish was closer in size to a guppy or a danio. What about a female DG if I can find one?

What can I say, it's the auto correct on the iPhone. No suggestions for a fish dk?

That should be Pygmy Cory. Darn iPhone.

I have a cycled 20 gal with 7 zebra danios and a dwarf gourami. Eventually I will add 5 Pygmy virus, but I am looking for one more fish about the same size A's the DG but I hesitate to add another male DG after my research. Any suggestions?
