Just an update.
Very sadly I have lost all of my guppies apart from 1 & my baby Mollie which I adored has just died.
I think my fish keeping days are over sadly 😢

I'm sorry sorry to hear the sad news @CarenLevo123. When something like this happens it can be devastating. I hope you don't let it put you off what is otherwise a rewarding hobby.

So sad to hear this. Just as we were all feeling so pleased to have helped you recover the tank. I suspect the excess rotting food has caused one or more of the water parameters to "spike" and it's been too much of a shock for the poor fishes.

All the best, please keep us posted on what you decide to do. It'd be a shame if you left the hobby and the forum.   :(

Knowing guppies they probably stuffed themselves stupid and got dropsy, I've never had a molly so I'm unsure of their appetites. It's actually the reason I stopped keeping guppies as I seem to be a bit heavy handed when dishing out food.

She'd had the tank running for 9 months @Sue

It occurred to me that Caren mentioned losing guppies and mollies but not neons. And in the first post she did mention neons. I wondered if they were still alive.
