Aquarium Advice Regular
If you haven’t read my previous posts, I had a few guppies I moved to my loach tank. Well.. ever since then everything has been chaos. The guppies I got were sick so we had to return them, but now the loaches are acting weird.
One actually died overnight and the two are laying on their sides and such. I already tested for ammonia. Let me tell you, this tank has been cycled. Before we added the guppies the loaches were very active and happy. After we added them one even died. So we are going to surrender the loaches. I had a pleco, and I needed to get him out of that tank in case of an ammonia outbreak due to the loach dying. Like I said, I tested it but everything was fine!
I acclimated him to another tank that has been cycled and he died over night. He was with the sick guppies.. and then died in a new tank. Now I’m going to redo the whole entire tank and surrender the fish. I did water changes, I added ammo lock in case, etc. It all went south when I added the guppies. Is it possible the guppies gave sickness to the other fish?
Mind you I was not told the guppies were sick until days after I got them. They had already been in the tank with the loaches at this point. Everything went to chaos as soon as I added those guppies. It isn’t about the tank or water parameters either. I’m so convinced the guppies spread a disease.
I’m upset now because when I went back to Petco and told the lady about the death of a guppy she said that some of them were sick and if the fish keep dying she cannot normally give refunds. UMMM.. excuse me? You cannot give me a refund from your fish and lacking to tell me that your fish are sick. Now the pleco is dead and I am going to need to get a refund and she is going to refuse a refund. She tested my water and it was fine. I’m just aggravated at this point. I’m not going to these main chains again. My perfectly fine loaches are now acting weird ever since we added those guppies from Petco. And I got the loaches from a breeder. I got the pleco from Petco too.
What do I do? I know it’s a lot but everything went wrong. I am going to redo the tank and wash it thoroughly and let it cycle but everything happened so soon. Any ideas what this could have been? Do you agree with the guppy situation?
