Update on Aquarium

Been dosing it with hydrogen peroxide and it worked wonders. It kinda hurt the plants, but I'm sure they'll recover ok. However, we are back down to only three fish. Maybe that is the healthy max for this tank.

We had the three parent fish, then four babies, then another baby, which died shortly after I placed him in the snail tank. Just before he was born, I placed a bunch of pennies in the tank, to get rid of the hydra. That killed the hydra, but also killed our favorite snail, plus all the other ones. It killed off all the aquatic life we had in there except the planaria. After that, we had a bite on the nice mommy fish, and she died. I lowered the temp a bit. Then we ended up with black mold all over everything in the tank, and the mean mommy fish died, and about two weeks later, we lost daddy fish. One of the baby fish also died. That is when I looked it up about the h2o2. Down to three again. Still waiting to see what their sexes are.
