Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
sometimes if you cange the water it will mix up the old food and everything at the bottom of the tank. this causes the water to become poisioned. there is really nothing you can do. unless you want to clean the tank every week to stop the food poisoning. i have to do this all the time (every day) because i have a wall tank( a whole wall of water and fish).

My fish always died too. I've probably killed 20 in my life. Anyway... have you tried using those vitamins that you put in the water? Maybe the ammonia is not normal. When you clean the tank do a 3/4 change so the fish don't have completely new water. It'll be easier for them to get used to it.
Hope i helped.

well first of all you have to make sure that the fish are not in tap water but bottled water when your cleaning the cage. also make sure the water isnt hot or else your fish will fry. thats all i have good luck and i hope your other fish are okay

one of your fish could have got like a disease and gave it to the others and so i would stop and just let them die,i know odd but either way their going to die and then clean it really good and get new ones.or it could be the cleaners that your mom is using,so wash the cleaners really well

well fish often don't even live to a year. you could get a siemese fighting fish. they come in a variety of colors and last about a year.(just like ipods!...joke...the ipods part.) although siemese fighting fish can only live by themselves.

Okay i know how you feel. It has actually happened to me a couple times. Here are some steps:
1- Set out a place to put your fish in and leave it to set for 20 minutes so that the water can get room temperature.
2- Put your fish in the space on number one.
3-Clean your tank thoroughly
4- Put aquarium conditioner in the new, clean tank.
5- Let the fishes original tank set for 30 minutes
6- Put your fish back in the bowl and watch it for 5 minutes and see how it reacts.
7- Go do whatever u want!

they have bottles of stuff at the fish store..everytime you clean your fish tank, depending on how many gallons it is..you pour a certain amount of the "medicine" in it. everytime you clean your fish tank its somewhat of a shock to the fish, and the medicine instantly calms them down so that they dont overreact and..die. something like weed for fish. im surprised you werent informed of this when you purchased your fish.

you have to let the water sit for a long time and when you put them in containers let the clorine stuff sit a long while
hope i helped

Some fish need that chlorine-out stuff in their tanks. It takes the chlorine out of the water. Maybe the temperature of the water isn't right for the fish. Check for that. Also, make sure you have a filter. I'm also sorry about your baby shark. I hope I helped, and feel free to ask more questions!

Maybe it is because they are soo used to the condition of the water. That is the only logical reason I can think of! Sorry about your shark. Hope I have helped.

it might be that the water's temperature is different or they need a different kind of water. try going to the pet shop you got them at or just any random pet shop and they can help with the specific kind of fish you have. good luck! <3
