Answer 1

You didn't say how big your aquarium is or what kind of fish you have. It could be due to overcrowding. 10 goldfish in a 10 gallon would be overcrowding, but 10 tetras in a 55 gallon wouldn't be. Even if they aren't overcrowded, introducing 10 fish into a non-cycled tank can have disastrous results.

Crash-course in fish care:

Usually pet fish die for one of two reasons; too little oxygen or too high ammonia concentration. Fish wastes consist mainly of ammonia. High ammonia concentration affects the rate at which they can absorb oxygen through their gills.

When deciding how many fish you want, you need to take into account their fully grown adult size, which varies depending on the variety. The rule of thumb is about 4 litres of water per 3cm (length) of fish. (oor one gallon per inch of fish) Talk to anyone at a real pet store (not Walmart or department stores that happen to sell fish) about fully grown sizes of fish.

It is important to do weekly 25% water changes to refresh oxygen levels and bring down ammonia levels. Never wash fish equipment with soap. You shouldn't need to rinse gravel or any decorations but once a year (rotate what you do rinse). Every surface under the water is a place where beneficial bacteria can colonize. These beneficial bacteria convert ammonia wastes into something less harmful for the fish. When there is a sufficient amount of bacteria to keep ammonia levels down, this is called cycled. It can take up to two months for a tank to become cycled.

If you have algal growth, you can scrub with an algae brush or sponge. If you have a heated, tropical aquarium, you may get some variety of algae eater that gets along with your fish variety (again, ask the sellers of the fish).

If you have a large aquarium (5+ gallons) you should consider filtration such as a bubbler type for under 10 gallons, or a hanging filter for larger tanks.

Answer 2

You need to provide me with more information.On the fish that are dead(sorry)what do you notice that might be out of the ordinary?Whitish film,spots,anything?You can try treating the Aquarium for fungal diseases if so.Also check your temperature gauge,has the heating device failed?Sometimes when you are panicked the obvious is overlooked!Anyway,you can also ask the place where you purchased the fish from to help you.Good Luck.

Answer 3

Your tank is probably not cycled. Do a 25% water change every day until the fish quit dieing. Don't change any more than 25% on any one day or you may well kill the rest of them. Learn what it means to cycle a tank,learn how to do a proper water change,learn how to not overfeed your fish,learn learn ,learn.

Answer 4

with out greater documents, i'm able to in basic terms wager the factor that kills maximum tropical fish is including TOO MANY to a tank, everyday rule is one fish in line with gallon or the water cant cope with it stable success

Answer 5

With all the fish dying in your tank your water levels are most likely giong haywire. Give your tank a 25% water change with gravel vaccum, and put in 1 tsp per gallon of aquarium salt. Do this every other day for about a week, your water should level out and your fish should stop dying. Only feed them once a day for now, as much as they can completly eat in 2-4 minutes. I hope everything works out. :)

Answer 6

I need to know what kind are they and is there anything wierd about them when they are dead? What kind of tank? Do you have a heater? What temp? Need more info

Answer 7

They more then likely have a parasite like ick. Check to see if they have small white dots on their bodies. If so go to the pet store and get meds.

Answer 8

Are you overfeeding them?
Is one of them, or perhaps more,a different kind than the rest?
Does one of them appear larger every day? Is one dead, or is it missing?
Good luck.

Answer 9

Ok what you need to do is take them and put them in separate bowls for a while. then clean their entire tank really well, then put them back. There is probably some bacteria trying to kill them,
Hope this works

Answer 10
