Say goodbye to my fish. :(

Not too long ago I setup an new tank with the following.

Rams, lamp eye tetras, angelfish, Cory loaches, Cory catfish.

Well yesterday my sister over fed them. So I vacuumed the waste out the next day when I got back home. And now today I noticed signs of ick. Sadly I have lost 6 fish in 2 days and my hard earned money and my beloved fish are slowing going down the drain....

Sorry for your loss.

This is the reason why I don't let anyone feed my fish. You could tell or show them how much to feed and somehow they still manage to screw it up

I don't think 1 time over fed kill your fishes and ick don't kill fishes within 2 days.
Your fishes died because your tank not fully cycle yet, without any established bio media from an old disease free tank, any new tank would take around 2 months for fully cycled.

The tank is fully cycled. I waited 2 months before adding fish and slowly added fish since then. The picture attached is a reading I took this a.m. and the test tubes been sitting for over 6 hrs. Since then I've also done a water change. Still losing fish... What else could it be?? I know for sure the tank is cycled though.

I made this mistake a long long time ago and never will I let anyone feed my fish. Don't let this get you down. Sorry about your fish

Sorry about the fish, but I disagree with your premise and agree with Yuki.

Ich is a parasite and it doesn't get created from food. If you are seeing the cysts on the fish, the cysts were already there. It's possible that the ich and the ammonia caused the deaths, but that would take autopsies to prove.

Next time I suggest not letting others feed them. It's dangerous and it's far better to let them wait for 24 hours.

Here is another photo that might help. I'm just at a loss and have no clue what it could be.

I always get those to go condiment cups with the lids and put the food in there that way they can't over feed.

Sorry for your loss.

have you done anything different in the past week? anything at all even if its not important. I usually go on trips expecting to lose fish and deal with it when I get back.
