I am so frustrated! I want to smash my tank (but wont).
I just spent 100$ on new fish and they are all dead.
I have a 35 gallon tank which is very well planted, well lit, co2 injected.
The substrate is flourite with fertilizer tabs. I supplement potassium and iron. I do regular water changes.
Anyways. I had a nasty bout of ick and a bunch of fish died....I treated it and it went away. Then i broke EVERYTHING down and cleaned it fully without soap.
The fish that survived are still doing well.....some drawf frogs, khuli loaches and tetras, and a massive pleco....they are thriving in the new tank as are the plants.
The new tank was set up 3 weeks ago and the bacteria is established i think.
SO....i bought 10 orange mollies....they all did fine for a week, then died. At the same time i bought a dozen new frogs...they were fine then within 2 days they all died. I just bought 6 new khulis and they too died within a day!!!!!
BUT...ALL OF THE OLD FISH ARE FINE!!!! I dont bloody get it.
My amonia is zero, Nitrite is very slightly elevated, and nitrate is low.
It seems everything i put in the tank dies except the old fish
please please help
