All My Fish Are Dead

[freckles]

I paid $15.00 for my Fish tank

I have a Bubble thing and a Filter

Also I got a heater

I put some salt in the water

gravel

I think $100.00 or so worth of Tropical Fish & some Fish Food that is suppose to be good on making Tropical Fish have good Color

Every Day they died

More and more

Until now there are 1 or two left

Follow this link and read the Video Tutorials on 'Cycling your Aquarium':

http://www.fishtankforums.com/16-sit...tutorials.html

There are many other good tutorials there as well for you to check out. The reason your fish are dying is likly because of the ammonia produced by there waste. Ammonia is highly toxic to fish. Nitrifying bacteria will break this down but it takes time for it to grow in your tank. Anyways, check out the video's as they will go for more in depth about this.

What kind of salt did you put in the water? The picture looks like you have mollies and platies, which aren't really saltwater fish (although mollies are kinda close) so salt may not be needed.

It says Aquarium Salt , I bought it at Walmart

Should I replace the water with new water now?

Welcome Freckles. Did you research before buying anything? As Zero has already pointed out you really need to look at the video tutorials about cycling. Most fishy folks do not add aquarium salt unless they are having issues with Ich. There is no need to add salt. We need more information to really help you at all. How long has this tank been running, how long after set up did you add fish, what are the water parameters, filter?? On our Front Page there is also a great article about cycling too.
I moved this post for you because it needed to be in the freshwater section.
Please view our suggestions and get back to us so we can help.

When I first started I just had Gravel and a Bubbler

I put a bunch of Fish in

I did not have a heater

I think it was to cold, because 3 fish died instantly when I put them in

Those little shark things, the ones with wiskers were ok

They had the ones without wiskers (Male/female)

The ones without died right away

Then I went and got a heater

Every morning after that, two or three would die

I had about 15 fish to start with

At Walmart they had two types of Fish. the Goldfish section

And the Tropical Fish Section

So, I choose out of the Tropical Fish section

I do have 1 plant

P.S.
I have had water in the Tank about a week and a 1/2 or two weeks

My 1 fish that is left seems to be active

Zipping around by itself
