Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi everyone, I'm new to this group and I'm in need of some advice. On August 27th I bought a brand new fish tank. I believe it's called an Eclipse. I purchased it at Petsmart and its a 6 gallon tank. Well I went by the book put the tank together, got some bottled water and let it run without any fish for 36 hours. Then I headed to wal-mart to get some fish, picked walmart because it just opened a few weeks ago, the fish appeared healthy and all the local pet stores had tons of dead fish floating in their tanks, the manager of the pet department helped me pick out 2 Gold Gouramis, 5 tetras 2 african frogs and an algae eater. i brought them home floated them in the tank, which i had set to 78 degrees, and netted them out individually into the tank. I began to notice the gouramis were not getting along, the male was chasing the female and occasionally nipping at her. She ended up with a broken antenna. Then about 2 days after i got the fish I noticed the frogs werent eating, so i moved them to their own aquarium. Then about 5 days after I got the fish, the first tetra died, then the female gourami, now all the fish have passed but the male gourami, who isnt looking too healthy. Anyways I would appreciate any comments on why this could have happened or anything i forgot to do, I'm desperate, please help me!! Thanks!
