everything goes well until i add 10 guppy inside the tank..and others fishes like tetra and mouse fish.. thy looks ok.. like today i saw them swim freely, then the next day, i saw one fish die left with bone.. it jus die in a nite.. then th next few day.. it happen one by one.. i input 10, loss 10(one by one sometime 2).. !! until even i do water change(jus change the water.) it settle with few fishes surviving until now..
my question is wat make this happen? thy din show any sign of diseases.. and yet die in a nite.. water quality?

Sorry for ur loses..
IMO,
ur new arrival fish is died due to ph shock .Reason is that most of the aquarium fish live in the 7-7.6 water.since ur water is too acidic,the gill burn.
