im not sure what went wrong, but i just saw gim in a plant, i also recovered a long dead feamle guppy, and my male sailfin is missing i am currently treating for ick, but he dident have any, there wernt any marks, fins were fine, but his mouth was open, i dont have a test kit either

can anyone shed some light on the subject?

If you post the water parameters, you'll get alot of reply's of what is going wrong in your tank. You can take some tank water to your LFS & he'll test it for you.

thats just it, i dont have a lfs
i have a walmart, and a once a month trip to the fish store, but sometimes i skip a month,

To get a reliable answer a full water test would be extremly helpful.
Also all about your tank when and how often you do a full tank check, water changes how much and often, chemicals used etc.

its a 20 long, fully planted (ok, so theres like a 2-3inch wide area along the front of the tank that isnt planted) i have zebra danios, rainbows, guppies, 2 small plecos, mollies, corys, ram, and ottos, it is slightly over stocked, because i am fixing up my 55 gallon, and it will be another few months before i can add fish back into it

the tank is about 75F and has a slightly larger filter with flow control, oh, and their last water change was a few days ago, but i had to wait to do another because there was somthing wrong with the water, and im just waiting till it all runs through the pipes so i can be sure it will be safe.

If it was in the water leave the water change as long as possible. You can do 1lt a day if necessary for several weeks with out doing any harm at all. That is providing the water is OK to use. Check your water supplier to find out what was in the water and is it OK to use again.
