Hi!
I'm having a few problems with my 32g tank all of a sudden. Everything has been going very well for months now, suddenly yesterday both my neon tetras died, and then this morning I lost a Bala. None had any signs of illness. I do a 10% water change weekly, I had the water tested at the aquarium place and they said everything was fine with the levels, My water temp is about 74 degrees. Right now my Bala's are acting out of character, the 2 I have left won't eat..not even bloodworms (which they love), searching around the tank in a way they never do. Would they possibly be looking for the other Bala? My mollie is also acting strange, she's not eating as well. and it looks like she's treading water. My pleco seems fine. What could possibly be wrong? are they now stressed because of the deaths recently? any ideas about what could of caused this sudden death spree would be great... I'm not an expert on fish, so please be gentle! Also, should I buy another Bala or 2 so they can actually school?? please help!! :confused:

No more fish ... your tank is already way overstocked. You need to post the actual numbers from the water tests ... we don't know what "fine with the levels" means. Frankly, as overstocked as your tank is, I suspect it's a water quality issue, but there's no way to be sure without numbers for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate.
