hello

#1
hey, everyone...my name is mallory (malz for short) and i'm a college student...so of course, i had to have a pet, so my parents bought me a fish tank...i have a 10 gallon tank with the following:

5 ghost shrimp (2 small, 3 large)
2 small snails
1 female swordtail
1 male guppie
1 clown loach
2 platies (one yellow, one black)
1 pink tetra

*i think that's it*

i had a female guppie that was pregnant, but she died when i tried to separate her from the rest of the fish (to keep the babies safe)...then my male swordtail died today while i was gone to class...he was doing the sideways death swim earlier today though...but i've given them ich away since i got them (3 days ago) to make sure nothing was wrong with them...

anyway...that's about it

hmm

i would upgrade to a bigger tank, but i live in a dorm room lol...so there's not that much space to spare...but my ammonia level was really high, so 4 of my 8 fish died...i'm down to a male guppie, pink tetra, 5 shrimp, 2 snails, a yellow baloon molly, and a clown loach...so i'm not doing anything else with my fish until i get my tank completely straightened out with the chemicals...any suggestions?
