[Passionate 4 pikes]

Ok i got this new tank about six days ago it is 45 inches long and 35 gallons about. when i put the fish in they were doing pretty good so i stocked it with cories bleeding heart tetras cardinals and moved all of my other fish in, except my bitaeniata, ram, unidentified apisto and my taeniacara candidi. then two days ago my problems start one cory died. i didnt think it was a big deal until one by one my cardinals started dying. today all my cardinals are dead or dying and one of my bleeding heart tetras! i wouldnt be as scare if my prized pike hadnt been showing stress recently. its weird cause some fish look healthier then ussual and some look almost dead. my beautiful gibbiceps i think has fin rot (i have never seen a fish with fin rot so i am just guessing but his lyretail is turnig white! when my dicrossuses had this they never lived. all of my bleeding heart tetras have shredded fins over night and my other apistos have stress colloring. they are not bleeding hard though. i think its bad water but i dont have a clue as to what it might be. i thought it might be clorine but doesnt clorine go away? i thought it would have killed them all the second day. my heros is looking fine and has lost its shyness. should i put the fish in a new tank? should i change most of the water, should i seperrate the helthiest ones from the bad ones???

please help and if i am not clear about anything tell me.

unsual. lack of oxygen, bad waters or lack of space is my guess.

you could use the 35g as a hospital tank,keep your healthy ones in another tank, whicever is more-sick or heahthy. A change would be good though and then see what happens.

If you had a new tank up for 6 days and added fish I would imagine they are dying from ammonia poisioning due to an un-cycled tank. I would test the water and is the amminia is high you could try amquel plus to try an buffer the tank, but in the end I would imagine you'd either have to move the fish to a cycled tank or they most likely will expire......
