I am fairly new with keeping fish. I have had my tank for about 4 months and have had many deaths so far.
All 4 of my ghost shrimp
1 sunburst wag
8 blue neon tetras (i gave up on the blue ones)
1 bala shark
and now 2 of my orange neon tetras
at first I had 3 of them. One of them,Spark, was always at the bottom and didn't really eat. She died a few weeks later. After wishing her luck in StarClan, i got another one named Plasma. She lived for about 2 months i believe. She also acted in this sort of manner and didn't eat much(but she did eat sometimes) Just now i found her having swimming problems and shortly after, dead. This is my 2nd orange neon death and im scared for the others.
My tank is 20 gallons. I tested the water and all was fine. I added some fresh water as well. Like I said before I have had this tank for about 4 months. My water hardness is hard, I hear tetras like soft water, but would that cuase death? If so how would i make my water softer and would that effect my other fish? Im not sure what to do. My fish are my life and i will do anything for them. Please help us. I currently have 1 sunburst wag, 2 orange neon tetras, 1 ghost catfish, 3 guppies,a little algee eating fish(don't know the name) there are 2 live plants too
