I'm having some severe problems with my 10 gallon community tank. I've had the tank in operation for about a year and a half. It is my first fish tank. The occupants used to be 5 neon tetra, three peppered cory catfish, 1 ADF, one betta male betta fish.
The tank is heated and filtered, I know all about cycling the tank...weekly water changes, that sort of thing. Any how, three weeks ago I lost my first fish ever. One of the neon tetra was gasping, lethargic, pale, and floating near the surface.
About a week from the first fish dying one of my catfish showed symptoms similar to a swim bladder disorder, he died and with the help of some of the members hear, determined the CoD to be some sort of internal injury.
Anyway two weeks later, today, one of my neons was resing on the bottom, pale...he died about three hours later. I have no idea what is going on...all my fish are systematically dying...one of my catfish is resting on the bottom, lethargic... Is my tank tanking? Should I completly break down the tank then re start it? I'm probably going to return the three neons to the store I bought them from and if one of the catfish dies, I will return the survivor as well. Someone please help, sorry for the long post.
