Aquarium Advice Newbie
I have a 10 gallon tank that I have had set up for 4-5 weeks now with what seemed to be 8 healthy platy ( 4 red wag and 4 gold twin-barred platy) I woke up this morning to a aquarium with 7 happy platy and one unfortunate one. It was a red wag platy. I was a little disappointed but I took him out and put him in a bowl of water (just to make sure he was dead). I then come back an hour later to find another red wag platy dead. By now I am thinking it must be the water but I didn't have any test kits. So I took the other dead fish out and also put him in a bowl. I left for a few
hours to try and get a test kit but I wasn't able to find any. I then come back to my tank to find this time a dead gold twin. I go to take out the fish when a see a fry swim behind a plastic plant. I didn't know what to do. So I took out the dead fish and then checked the tank to see if I could find the fry again. I was looking through the tank and found 6 fry. I took those out only to find more fry. Wanting to try to save all the fry I took out all the decorations from tank. I ended up capturing 15 fry and I put them in a separate bowl with water from the tank. I then started to clean the tank with my gravel vacuum to see I I could find any more fry but I didn't. I ended up taking about 3-4 gallons out of my tank but I replaced the water and the decorations. But now my fish in my tank don't seem to be the same.
I need to know what to do about my fish and my fry ASAP. Any advice would help!!
