We bought 4 new fish 2 weeks ago which are all doing well (guppies & platys) but the original fish (at least the guppies) are dropping like flies
Our normal fish shop has closed so we went somewhere else (won't be going there again!).
Fish tails seem to be going a pointy shape as all their fins disappear seemingly overnight! Have dosed the tank with finrot treatment, but is there anything else we can do to help save the remaining 30 or so fish? We took the first poorly fish to a local fish shop & he found it very hard to diagnose - thought it was finrot but that is also looked like the fish has been attacked by a bigger one (we don't have anything bigger than guppies). Really annoyed as the only reason we bought some extra fish was to get some more females as we seem to have more male babies being born than females . DD is distraught!
Help!
Apart from a couple of tetras, the only other animals in the tank are assasin snails & tiger snails BTW
