Welcome to the forum TKN, but sorry we can't really help you (fast or slow) unless you provide us with more info:
a) What are your tested water parameters for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate? If you don't have a test kit you really need one bro; if you're a student and likely on a budget I know they're not cheap but these can tell you (and others) so much about possible problems and causes.
b) Tank size? How often water changes?
c) Any tank mates?

Decent photo(s) if you can get are always helpful as well.

Would start with water quality. Get a liquid test kit and check ur water.
