I had 2 glass catfish, a molly, and 3 brilliant rasboras for a year. 6 weeks ago all died. They were sluggish & a day later slime coats were irritated and white.Per pet store recommendation I treated w/ Melafix & Pimafix.Condition worsened and all fish died. Fish were white & slimy & chunks of slime coat floated in the tank.
I cleaned the tank (no chemicals),got new rocks, plants, filter & decorations, & added fish food & Stability.After 2 weeks I added a goldfish. He was fine after a week so I added another. Both developed symptoms w/in 12 hours. I treated w/Melafix& Pimafix, but both died that day.
Repeated cleaning/cycling regimen. Added 1 goldfish after 2 weeks. Fish was active&happy for 2 days then became sluggish. Treated w/Melafix&Pimafix and he perked up. Behaved normally for 3 days, but took a turn for the worst on day 4. He was upside down on the bottom of the tank, unable to right himself, gills pumping. Died soon after.
Why can't I keep anything alive in this tank?!
