My tropical fish are slowly dieing. They seem to go really skinny. Is there any medication I can add that will cure this? There are frogs and some snails too. Zebra, neons, Cory catfish, angelfish etc

Also a run down of the water quality using a liquid test kit

Ammonia
Nitrite
Nitrate
PH and hardness are also worth knowing.

Possibly good to know what and how you're feeding, is it done in a way that ensures everyone gets enough or is a greedy species mopping up everything before others get a chance...

But no doubt other factors need looking at too, but if you're just chucking in feed and letting them go at it it's likely that a few species aren't getting a look in and dying of starvation...
