Okay. I ran my tank for 3 weeks before putting any fish in. (I now know I should have waited longer.. but the Petco told me only to wait 2 weeks so I thought I was doing well by waiting an extra one.) I started with 3 platys. One jumped out of a small hole (RIP Ophelia) and then about 3 weeks later the last two died within 2 days of each other (Poopy and Flo). I also have two balloon molly's that I've had for about 2 weeks now. They seem fine.
I took a sample to the store and they said that my tank hasn't cycled yet... but I've had it running for about 2 months now. He told me to add 2 tablespoons of aquarium salt. They told me to come back with another water sample in a week.
Since Petco steered me wrong the first time and I ended up losing 3 fish... is there anything else I should do?
