anjichester1 welcome to the site,
Can you provide us with a little more information please
What fish are they?
What sized tank is it?
How long has the tank been set up and running? How long have the fish been in there?

Most importantly, what are your ammonia, nitrIte, nitrAte, and Ph readings?

Just as a note to Babel's post if you don't have a test kit for your water quality your lfs will probably test it for you for no charge. Just take in a small sample to them.

And welcome to the site

Just as a note onto old timers post ....
If you do take water to your LFS, be sure to ask for the actual numbers on the test... whatever you do dont accept the following
"you're water is fine"
"here add this"

Get actual numbers and write them down, then come back here with them .

Welcome to FP and yes, as the adults die any fry that they might be carrying will also die with them, just as though they are humans...

and make sure they tell you what your ammonia is, nitrite, and nitrate...you don't want to have the just write down the numbers, and not know what they areI've had it happen before heidi

And now back to the program
