you have to watch what you start dumping in your tank many inverts are sensitive to chemicals. As far as age goes I was 10 and doing water changes and adding declor and had fish breeding. I had no help and my fish were always fine. No offense but this waving arms to scare fish sound very immature. You either like the hobby or not everyone loses fish from time to time but they don't quit the hobby unless they don't really enjoy it to begin with.

yes i treat my water every time when i do water change..
my Ram has spawned 6 time, my rainbow fish scatters their eggs from time to time..but my platies, ram and shrimps eats their eggs..
they were all happy..
i know i made a mistake..i was just leaving for some personal work so just i wave hand to say goodbye.
i thoroughly enjoy my fish hobby but it makes feel sad when i loose my fish..
btw i put one of rainbow who was suffering from swim bladder issue in quarantine tank..
and changed 50% water of my main tank and i didn't feed them for the whole day..
everything is coming back to normal i guess..they are swimming freely again, chasing each other..

that is surprising, no offense (sorry if i did offend) but from your original you come off as being 12-16. The whole spaztic movements, your dad rescuing your fish and the whole quiting because of a setback reminds me of my students, guess I'm a bit jaded.
Somwtimes in this hobby you have setbacks and maybe make some serious mistakes that results in losing livestock. Move on, learn from your mikstakes and don't make them again is all you can do. And just know that inverts and fish are fairly easy to kill it comes with keeping pets in such small environments.

thanks everybody for helping me out..
seems they are OK now, one or female Rainbowfish is in QT..keeping fingers crossed for her..
Purchased from a lfs with no label?.... Yeah, no... I'd take it back and get your money back for whatever it is that dude sold you.
Everything in your situation seems to have stabilized for the most part. Don't seem over stocked or anything. Best of luck to you. Oh, and don't buy anything else without a label to introduce to your tank. :/ If you need a good liquid fert you can use seachem flourish with no negative effects on your livestock.
