First of all (see my other post under nitrogen cycle) I woke up to find my platy dead. Had her for 2 days - took it back to the fishstore along with a water sample and the water tested fine. Decided to not try another platy right now so I bought 2 cory weitzmani's. Came home let them aclimatize for about 1 hour set them free. A couple hours later I find a dead glow-light tetra - hadn't really noticed anything odd about the tetra's behaviour. Now my serpae's have gone "nuts" the three of them are swimming against the glass in the same spot for hours now - if I put my hand there they swim away but then come right back. Can fish go crazy? Are they trying to escape? I also notice on their bottom fins - the tips look really white - is this normal?

This aquarium thing is alot more difficult than I expected.

At least the cory's seems to happy together - they are really cute and follow each other around. And when they think you aren't looking they are really active!

Wow, sorry to hear about things going awry for you I can't offer any info but I can offer support! Stick with it, if you really enjoy it. It's definitely hard work at the start, and maintenance isn't a piece of cake; the end rewards though are wonderful!

I sincerely hope you find what's wrong and wish you success in the future!

how long have you had the glowlight? Maybe your LFS is selling unhealthy fish? I dont know but it is the best I have come up with.

I'd treat the tank with parasite clear. It sounds like you could have a parasite problem in that tank.

Sorry for your loss, what are all your water perams pH, ammonia, Nitrites, Nitrates and temp.. What type of water are you using and what are you treating it with?
