All my fish are dying what went wrong2007-11-24 23:09:31

I have a 46 gallon tank and a 36 gallon tank and all my fish are dying, do to stress, in both tanks. I added aquaplus-dechlorinator to both tanks . It says on the bottle to add 01 cap full for every 10 gallons, I only took out 50% of the water from both tanks, then added 4 cap fulls to each tank. Is it possible I added to much, I ran out of my old dechlorinator and bought a new one, that says it has stress reducing formula in it, that was all the store had. I cleaned the tank and made sure not to affect there bacterial environment and checked all the ph levels to make sure they looked good, The python hose had a lot of algae build up, if that means anything. I have done water changes before and never lost this many fish.the fish didn't start dying till I added the new dechlorinator,maybe I used to much or maybe it's the algae in the python hose. I tried taking out some water and adding fresh water, thinking I put to much dechlorinator. Please Help, I am really confused.

Answers:

Ask your local pet store experts if they do any water testing. It sounds to me you did everything right and took every precaution. My only further advise would be to next time don't clean them both at the same time, at least you'll have a 'safe' tank to use if this should ever happen again. good luck.

its like fish maybe you bought then from a place that the fish where sick

one thing you can't do is overdose on conditioner. they are non toxic, and you can add as much as you want. but it just wastes money. did you have some kind of dangerous chemical in your hands perhaps?

I'd say do another water change immediately, and read the instructions carefully on the declor. before adding more. Some brands are different amounts.
