Fish Deaths

[LoveToStack]

I recently added 3 guppies to my tank and one died the first night, then another on the second night. Ontop of this 2 barbs have died as well as one neon. They haven't shown any symptoms really, they just seem to die rather suddenly.
The last remaining guppy seems fine but then so did the other two as well as everything else. The only one's who haven't had a loss yet are the silver dollars, touch wood.
Any ideas what's happening here?

Im sure you may be aware, but sometimes the fish can't handle the change of Temperature in the water, maybe ring up the shop were you got them and ask them what Temperature they leave there tanks at then try get the Temperature of your tank as similar as possible also change in food can be a big thing believe it or not but there are different types of fish food and a drastic change can kill them instantly.

All the other fish; Neons, Barbs, Silver Dollars, have all been in the tank for well over a year. The guppies have obvously brought something in which is killing them all.
A silver dollar died last night. >

Fish are pointless imo. They just float there and you spend 50 bucks on em (food water cleaning stuff)... do you just flush them down the toilet when they die?

I do flush them..

OMG just noticed my gold fish is dead, I won it from a fair and it has been alive for 6 months now... Shame tbh but I want a tortoise

Fish from fairs aint bad tbh, i won two and one lasted about 4 years and i've still got the other one, this is the 5th or 6th year atm. My sisters one from the fair is like 12 years old now.
I think apparently mixing differ types of fish give diseases, that's what i got told ???

You shouldnt put silver dollars with neons and guppies

I have 7 guppies, 30 neons, 2 pleco with small 1 big, some shark, and a few other fish and some babies none died yet :p getting some red cherry shrimp tomorrow will post pics of tank tomorrow

The dollars go fine with the neons and guppies. My silver dollars aren't very big though.

Fish compatibility

The silver dollar is listed as semi-aggressive but it is very mellow like the pacu. These fish can be kept in community tanks with fish that can't fit in their mouths, so don't put a full-grown silver dollar with neon tetras and guppies. These fish can also be kept with larger fish like oscars, pikes, and larger catfish when full grown.


Watch out when there big
