Mysterious weakness to my fish, how to cure?
So I have bought two sets of fish and they both die the same way. the live but suddenly die near red/brown splotches on their stomach. What IS THIS?
Don't buy from that store again.It nouns like ulcers but a picture would help alot.
My direction don't take advice from people on this site.
Go to a vet, consequently you are more likely to get an answer that will help you.
Also the vet will probably be capable of tell you what you are doing wrong and what you can do to keep your fish healthy.
So you can stop them from dying.

Answers: My first question would be, is your tank cycled fully?

How small/large is your tank and how many fish are you adding at one time? Only 10% of the volume of fish contained by inches should be added at any one time.
You need to be sure you are acclimating the fish properly (floating them for 15 minutes adding 1/2 cup of your reservoir water to the bag and floating again for 15 minutes repeat 4 times.)
Water tests. You involve to get yourself a test kit here to determine what is going on contained by your tank.
Also water changes weekly 25% beside a gravel vaccing. The red/brown patches are from poor water conditions.
Are you sure you are using a dechlor/water conditioner.
