Hello,
I’m having a lot of trouble with my 20gal community tank. I had a successful tank up and running with no deaths for over two years. One day I bought some live food and next thing I know every thing dies. I bought HydroPlex and treated all of the fish but it did nothing. I took a dead fish into my local fish store, but no had seen anything like this before. So I started over from scratch, I cleaned everything and ran the tank empty for about four months, I treated it and tested everything, I bought a few fish, which seemed to be happy for a about three weeks then they all die over night. I tested the water and everything was fine. So I ran the tank again for another 6 months empty. I now just decided to try again. I Went to the fish store today and picked up a few Tetras and a Barb, I put them in my tank and it looks like they have Ick. I’m at a lost, is it my tank or just really bad luck. I husband is always at are local fish store talking to the owner and we are all dumbfounded. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do next?
