7 days ago we bought our 1st tank the pet shop told us 3 days was long enough b4 we added fish to the tank. so 3 days later we bought 3 fish 12 hours later they had all died. not happy about this we returned to the pet shop and asked why they looked at the water sample we took and told us the water was fine it must have been stress that killed them? we then bought 6 mollys and took them home and added them to the tank they wer all fine at 1st but about 24 hours late 2 of them started acting strange. i say strange because they would swimm round the tank just fine like the other fish but when they stoped unlike the other 4 who would just float in the 1 spot only moving slightly theese 2 would swim on the spot like a human joggs on the spot. at 1st we didnt think anything of it but the next day the 2 fish that had been acting like this had died. now a 3rd fish has started doing the same thing wer as b4 he was fine wich makes me think somthing has to be wrong. he looks indistress. we are animal lovers in this house so as you can imagine kille 5 out of 9 fish is not going down well. i hope what ive put makes sence we realy want to keep fish but at this rate ill have no money lol. id just like to know are we just been unlucky or have the pet shop givin us bad advice?
