"Santa" brought my four year old a fish tank at his request (that was the only thing he asked for). It was an Eclipse 6 gallon tank. We set up the tank according to the book, with the water conditioner, gravel and plastic plants. We also got a heater. After several days we got three neon tetras from the LFS. A week later we got two more after having our water tested by LFS and pronounced "okay." A few days after getting those fish and putting them in the tank all the fish got ick. We raised the temperature to 86, but didn't try anything else since we couldn't agree what to do I also did some water changes adding Prime. The fish then started dying. All but one have died. I started checking ammonia levels and they are now down to 0 (from 1 a week ago). Assuming that the last fish dies of ick, what should we do next to try to prevent fish loss.
Our plan had been to have 5 neons in the tank and maybe 2 guppies.
Thanks!
