Hello all
I am a newbie. I have a 55 gal tank with a wisper 60 filter on it. I let the tank cycle for 3 weeks. Then I went to put in a few fish. I went to wal mart figuring I might as well try cheap fish if I was gong to lose them at all. I bought 4 neons and 2 black bettas. I lost one of the neons on the first night, But i think it was on its way out from the get go. two weeks latter I had not lost any fish so I decided to ad a few more. I went to my local pet shop and bought 5 guppies, 2 males 3 females. One week went buy then I started to notice a couple spots on one of the male guppies within a week all the guppies had died. The question I have is does Ich attack some types of fish more than others. The wal mart fish look to be doing fine. Is there something else I need to do.
thanks
