Why Do My Fish Keep Dying
While introducing the fish into its new tank try not to use your hands, a net is the safer way to move them.
Do not crowd the tank, this might lead to social stress or lack of oxygen. It would also lead to increased susceptibility to diseases.
Do not place the tank in direct sunlight.
Do not overfeed the fish, excess food may settle in the bottom and rot. Alternate the fish food to add a bit of variety for your fish. No one likes to eat the same dish every day!
Keep the tank covered, this would keep the fish safe from prowling cats, and dust. It would keep an over anxious fish from jumping over as well!
Do not keep a lonely fish. Fish usually live in groups and like company!
Do read up as much as possible about the behaviour, health and diseases of fish. The more you learn about fish, the more you would be able to enjoy and appreciate the little lithe creature keeping you company.
you keep flushing it down the toilet
take a water sample to the pet store and have it tested.. or it could be the place you get them from they were sick before hand? or it could be that there is something in your tank the Algae Eater is grown accustomed too but it is affecting the new fish - this is common in older established tanks
make sure there are no non-aquarium friendly decorations in the tank - like toys or coins
Depending on what kind of algae eater you have, it may be the problem. They don't just eat algae , if they need more food. If there isn't enough algea or similar plant material in the tank they will turn to the other fish in the tank. This in turn stresses the nibbled fish and they die.
When you buy the goldfish, take a close look at the algae eater because sometimes the algae eater will nibble on the goldfish tails and then the fish will get sick and eventually die. Some algae eaters don't mix too well with goldfish, comets, orandas, shubunkins, black moores or other fish of the gold fish family..Good luck.
I'm asumming that the fish are in a tank with a bubbler? If so then maybe you need some ChlorOut, or something similar. It takes away the chlorine in the water. It is also possible that your fish are getting Ick (Ich) The turn funny colors and then die.
because everything you touch dies, you are a cancer
How big is your tank. goldfish needs lot of space.. It could be a fungus infection. The algae eater is tough. They don't get sick that easily.
The algae eater nipping at the gold fish might be a possibility. This wouldn't happen if it wasn't starving. You need to buy sinking algae wafers for the algae eater.
Algae eaters are very tough and can survive alot. Is your tank cycled? have your water tested at your local petstore if you do not have your own test kit
take your water to a local fish store and have it tested..many alge eaters are tropical and gold fish are coldwater, so that may be your problem
Perhaps your tank is not big enough nor do u use a water conditioner
