Why not give your tank a 20% water change every day to help your fish along till it cycles, It will take some stress of the fish.

Well....Ive now lost all of my Angels (devastated)!!! This is so cruel!..and sad :(
On the other hand....Bruce is still going...and seems to be less depressed!
I hope this settles itself down soon...my tank is starting to look so very empty and its horrible t loose all these fish for really nobodys fault!

I use fresh start water treatment btw.

I will post a pic of my tank later...i think i have everything set up ok....fish seemed to love it until before all this happened. :S

Check the label on the bottle (I don't know that brand). If your local tap water contains chloramine, then using that conditioner will ADD ammonia to the water (which is toxic to the fish) UNLESS the conditioner also binds ammonia.

If your Fresh Start doesn't do this, try to find a brand that says its removes chlorine, chloramine and heavy metals, and binds or detoxifies ammonia and nitrite.

I'm not sure what brands are available where you live, but Seachem's Prime is one that works for this.
