I am having major trouble keeping my tropical fish alive. I test the water daily and the levels are all safe. The tank temperature ranges from 72-74 degrees. The fish are dying as fast as I can replace them except my 2 catfish.

Where about is the tank, i had this problem, when i lived with my parents and had the tank in my bedroom, it turned out that all the artificial scents in my room were dissolving into the water and killing the fish. Avoid use of any aerosols, scented candles, oils or inscence near the tank.

There is something called new tank syndrome, something to do with not enough bacteria (not enough, imagine that.) I think I found it on a Betta site. Maybe it was Basic Beta Care 101.com. The pet store gave me a bag of dirty water(from one of their tanks) and said to put it in mine. The water was cloudy as all get out for like 3 days, then BOOM! Crystal, never a problem after! You outta see it now!

We were having the same problem with our tank and it was actually the ammonia level. Everything else tested fine, but the ammonia levels were off the charts. If you take a sample of water to a pet store they can check it for you.....just make sure you ask them to check the ammonia, because it is a different test. If it is high, and hyou are interested, you can message us, and we can let you know how we overcame the issues.....We have five fish that are still alive and kickin.....(crossing fingers while typing that)
