All of my fish are dying 1 by 1
My original count;
1 Yellow Lab
1 Pleco
1 Acei
1 Moori
1 Demasoni
1 Peacock
All juvies
First my Pleco died, then my lab started breathing very hard and started hiding then died. Next my Acei started breathing hard and swam up in the corner and stayed there always then died. Now my little demasoni is starting to show symptoms:( help! I've already treated for fungus and parasites but it didn't work.
 
Ammo: 0
Ph: 7.8
Trites: .5
Trates: 0
Alakinity: 120mg/L
Hardness: 150mg/L
Chlorine/Chloramine: 0mg/L
Temp: 77

But that was roughly 2-3 weeks ago
 
I cant right now, its wierd though, the rapid breathing, then rejecting food, then hiding, then death, idk what to do... I only have 3 fish left.
 
But I do have prime, salt, and conditioner if you think params could be the problem, but I recently did a 25% pwc.
 
Once a week, and my tap is ph: 7.8 ammo:0 trites: 0 trates: .05 or something like that
 
Heavy breathing is symptomatic of nitrite poisoning. That's my first suspect but Ive no experience in parasites so ill let a more experienced member chime in on that.
Is this tank cycling or has it been established?

How do their gills look inside?

Did you treat for parasites and fungus at the same time or is it an all in one kind of treatment?

My tank is cycled I cant tell what their gill look like inside because he's less than an inch right now. But my demasoni is breathing a lot faster then normal.
 
You must buy a test kit A.P.I is the one to go for.It will be your biggest friend.If you have a major problem with your water parameters by the time you get your water tested at the store it could already be too late especially if your Nitrites are off the scale.A high Nitrite count can kill fish in a matter of a few hours.
What Filtration are you running?
