have a 15 gallon tank that unfortunately, has a death about every 2-3 months. My parameters are always good (nitrite 0, amononia 0, ph 7.4). I do water changes every week or week and a half with a gravel vac. Here's the history. Remember, these deaths are 2-3 months apart.
1. Red eye tetra seems to have an injury by the gill. I try different medications but nothing works so it developes into a fungus infection. I put him in a hospital tank but he dies.
2. A Molly becomes weak, I separate him to medicate but he dies. No signs of anything specific.
3. Panda cory died. Most likely from a long power outage.
4. Panda cory died. I noticed he wasn't eating much and moving about. No visible signs of what happened.
5. A betta starts acting very depressed. I separate him and he dies. No signs of anything specific.
6. Dwarf Platy looks as he is blind so I separate him to medicate and he dies. I notice white fuzz around his mouth.
This tank has always been heavily stocked so I am very careful to do my water changes on a regular basis. Here are the fish I have currently:
1 Pleco (bn)
3 red-eye tetra
1 serpae tetra
1 Molly
1 Betta
1 Panda Cory
Also, some of the fish that have died have been replaced with what I have currently have.
Please, how can I stop these deaths? Most of my fish I've had for 3 to 12 months.
