| Sorry you're having so much trouble?
Is this in the 26 gallon?
Are you buying your fish from the same place every time? I'm starting to wonder if maybe they have some really bad stock.
Have you had any ammonia or nitrite spikes? | |

| Let's start with the bacterial infection-did you treat it with meds and was the entire tank medicated or did you isolate the sick fish? | |

| Is this a type of infection that could've stayed in the tank, even after the fish died? | |
