Is your tank cycled?
Moved to Barbs for obvious reasons.Cycling With Fish?•• The Fishless Cycle••

When is the last time you changed the water in the tank and how often do you usually do that?
It's important to answer the question Lady Hobbs asked regarding whether your tank is cycled - could you post your most recent water parameters? Ammonia, nitrites & nitrates so we can try and figure out why your fish were stressed enough to show signs of illness. This is necessary before offering tips for treatment.46 gal fw tank with black skirt tetras, neon tetras, spotted cory catfish, cherry barbs, guppies, snails & 4 amano shrimp - plastic & live plants

Will test water when I get home. Some of the paint from my fake wood is coming off, could that cause problems??
