I have a 30 gallon tank which I let cycle for a week without fish. I have a Top Fin filter system which came with my tank. I have bubbles coming out of three places and a few live plants.
Now after a week of cycling I put in two pictus catfish and two silver-tipped catfish. I purchased these four fish from my local Petsmart store. After 5 days one silver tipped died. He was not really swimming but more like just hanging in the water. Right after this, I put in two bala sharks. During this time, my other silver-tipped catfish was swimming around and very active. The next day my other silver-tipped catfish started doing the same thing and eventually died. That was the 1 of April. Today, the 4 April, my two pictus catfish died. When I took them out it looked like their skin was peeling off. I tested my water and everything was right were it is supposed to.
If anyone could help me figure out why and what happened to them would be great. I didn't think to take pictures at first, wishing I had now haha. If anyone needs more information, I will try my best to give it to you. Thank you again
