i apolagize for the font of the earlier post....it was almost impossible to read... this is an exact copy...
my fish are dying! i have a 15 gallon tank that has been established for about 2 years and i cleaned it about 3 months ago with 1 gourami, 1 blueberry tetra, 1 black molly, 1 algea eater, 1 female guppy, 2 albino catfish, and 4 tiger barbs (about to be 3 i used to also have 1 bleeding heart tetra, 1 catfish (i dont know what kind....it swam around the bottom of the tank, was silver and black, and was about 4 inches long, plus maybe 3 inch antenas (sp?) ), one more tiger barb, and one green barb. they died, and i dont know why. the bleeding heart died first, i didnt see anything wrong with it, it was possibly age. the green barb died next, i didnt see anything wrong with it. the catfish's fins looked clamped together and before it died it started swimming slower and slower, and the tiger barb looked slightly bloated...before it died it was started swimming slower and slower and then couldnt seem to stay upright, and swam in circles....2 of my tiger barbs look bloated now and are starting to have the same problems as the one that died. i have tried putting in 3 different kinds of medicines, 2 in tablet form and one in liquid form. the liquid is "a fast, effective cure for tropical fish parasite infections like ick, etc." and was recomended by someone. one of the tablet kinds is for parasites, and i have forgotten what the other was for... i have administered them according to the dosage instructions on the package, and this morning i put in smaller than recomended doses of all of them at once can someone tell me if they know anything about why my fish are dying?!?
