Hi All,
new member here from Canada.
My family and I started in with keeping fish a few years back. Goldfish were dirty and got re-homed quickly. We found guppy and fell in love (even with prolific birthing). We went from a 10 gallon tank and sharing fry with our friends with larger tanks and moved to a 75 gallon tank.
We are keeping (currently) a handful of guppy, 3 glow tetra, 1 BN pleco, and one angelfish.
The tank was cycled, 25% water changes regularly, vacuumed gravel, a handful of live plants. Fish are fed tropical flakes - I tried some other pellet variation but the fish would just play with them and not eat them. Haven't been brave enough to try "fresh" foods.
I came here as I am having trouble keeping some of the fancier fish alive for longer than a month. Recently we lost a molly (I am sure she was bullied) and now more recently an angelfish who I talked to the night and then again in the morning, passed away by lunch ... seems that things will be going swimmingly and then not so good.
I test with the API test strips (haven't bit the bullet yet for the chem test kit).
I'll be around looking for recommendations and support.
-Thanks!!
