Hi Angela,
Sorry to hear of your losses, as Ray said it probably is something to do
with the chlorine in the tap water but I am wondering about the advice you
got from the store. Unfortunately the stores often give poor advice because
their primary objective is to sell stuff rather than promote good
conditions for your fish. One of the most important things to have is a
water test kit, the results can tell us so much about what is happening in
the system so please let us know your results as this will greatly help to
keep the surviving fish alive if there are still some problems going on.
You say the problem happened in just a few days but I am not clear whether
you mean the system is new or not-how long has it been set up?
