Hi,
Im new to all of this and really need some help. I purchased just a basic 30L on Friday, with an artifical plant and gravel and let the filter run for 2 days as instructed.
Purchased my fish on Sunday, only purchased 8 dalmatian mollys. I added my chlorine remover (again as instructed) and slowly introduced them to the water.
That evening I fed them their flakes which was told to buy and they were STARVING, and were every evening when fed but made sure I did not over feed them, and then Monday they were acting strange - they were VERY slow, swimming at the top, kept swimming sideways and upside down and just didn't look right, especially their fins. Yesterday when I got home from work, all bar 4 were dead (I think the rest are now when I get in unfortunatley..) My friend who has had experince with fish said it sounds like tail rot and to get back to the shop for a refund and complain.
When I purchased them I didn't get asked any questions or aything regarding the fish and their care which I was concerned about (not because of myself of course but because of others!)
Just wondering from experince/expert advice what anyone advises please?
I'm very gutted to have lost them - really loved having them even if it was for a few days!!
