So Im new. I got a 10 gallon tank for Christmas and about 3 weeks ago I set it up. My first 3 fish were neon tetras from pet smart. They didn't survive My next 3 fish were mollies from petco (one golden panda and 2 black lyretails) and they are still alive and well. I recently added 3 yellow guppies and 2 Cory catfish (one albino and one julii) from pet smart. Both of the catfish died. The julii was floating around the tank doing barrel rolls and getting pushed around by the filter and every now and then flipping his tail. Eventually he just wound up laying on his side at the bottom. I knew he was sick, I think it was his swim bladder. Either way, I'm new so I don't have a quarantine tank, so I couldn't put him in there to prevent spreading disease. I was too late. It spread to the albino Cory cat and I found him on his side at the bottom of the tank the next morning. The three guppies and the three mollies are still alive and thriving. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. And I'd be glad to answer any questions. Oh yes, I'm running a penguin biowheel mini filter. I do have a water heater, and lid with LED.
