Fish died???

[blackmolly]

did you replace any filter media with the last water change? how did you do your water change?

 

[Perrytheparrotfish]

No, that's another question, should I change it now?

 

[blackmolly]

no. you should not change the filter media until it is falling apart, and if it is, there's a certain process you need to go to in order to change it successfully.

Bristlenose pleco with some community fish maybe (platys,mollys,guppys ) or maybe some sort of cichlid hmm. Still a lot of choices kinda.

I don't think i want a pleco...my plecos pooped like maniacs and it made me clean the tank more. I also have a 10 gallon tank with multiple guppies, so i could move a couple of the males over. So if i had 2 male guppies, what else would work?

Common plecos have a HUGE bio load I had to do a PWC today because my filter never sucks up his poo my bristlenose doesn't poop as much with the guppy you could have red cherry shrimp with them and a ton of other community fish like mollys,endlers,kribs and others. So you could add a lot to the 28 so I don't know all up to you

I would tear the tank apart and clean everything. You have no idea what killed your fish. A toxin/chemical/poison or a disease could have made its way into your tank. Bleach everything, rinse and let it dry in the sun. Throw out all filter media. You will then have to re-cycle the tank before new fish.
