Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi all,
About a month ago, my house purchased a 10 gallon tank and some fish (of course we set the tank up prior to purchasing the fish!). We began with 4 black mollies, 2 dalmation mollies, 3 glass/ghost catfish, and 1 placastamus. There didn't seem to be a bully at any time.
H Levels 7.6
Temperature 78 F
With in the first week, 1 black molly died, one of the dalmation mollies died (and then a couple of weeks later the other died...we think it was lonely). One catfish died a few weeks in, and then just now another glass fish died...we might get more glass catfish, but I'm afraid now that everyone seems to be dying...
In addition, 3 of the black mollies now seem to be infected w/Ich (definitely have white spots on their bodies, faces- esp around the eyes)...I can't get a good picture of them unfortunately. We treated them with Ick clear this afternoon, and about an hour ago is when the 2nd glasscatfish died....
What can we do?!?!?! I know most of these are schooling fish, but I do not want to introduce any more fish until we figure out what is going wrong!
Any advice would be much appreciated, if there is any other information that might be helpful, please let me know.
Thanks!
