New fish
Hey every body. My boy marigold swordtail just died  . The healthy pet guarantee is still usable so I'm going to get a replacement. I'm really wanting to breed red wag swordtails. So are there any tell tale signs of one of those beeing pregnant besides having a big belly and a gravid spot? Like behavior or something. Thanks.

Why did your fish die? That's what you should ask yourself before you put another fish in the tank.

But why did the other fish die? It sounds stupid but when a fish dies its normally for a reason...
And if it's not fixed you can expect more fish to die.

Agreed. Test your waters before you kill more fish!

i don't think that testing the water will give any indication of the presence of any type of disease or parasite....
watching the fish in the tank for a few weeks to make sure none of them get sick and/or treating with a prophylaxis med would be best....
but you bought new fish so it is too late...good luck with them...

I think the problem was a disease. My sisters guppy face was turning green and died yesterday.
