Hi all,

I'm returning to fish, although previously I only dabbled so am by no
means an expert. Now I have two small children intrigued by what's going
on in the tank.

Unfortunately what's going on is not so good.

I started off a freshwater tank with 4 Mollys. I realise I'm reclimbing
the learning curve but was a bit sad when 3 of them died at intervals of
a few weeks apart. The one remaining has lasted longer than the rest put
together and looked quite happy so I thought I must be doing something
right and decided to get him some friends. (Tank size is 2x1x1 BTW.)

Last weekend I bought some more fish - 5 Danios, 5 Neons and 4
Corydoras. Within a couple of days 3 of each of the Danios and Neons
have died, however the Corydoras have survived. The surviving Molly is
still fine.

None of the fish look poorly until they wind up dead. I've been using a
multi testing strip which tells me that Nitrates, Nitrites, GH, and KH
are fine. pH however seems to be a little too low - can this be causing
my deaths? The information I've read doesn't seem to imply that it would
have such a dramatic effect.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions for the best course of action.

Thanks.
