Update:

I went and bought the API Master Test Kit!

But when I got home, another Molly was dead, one of the original 2 :(

Now I'm down to 1 fish alive!

The original 2 mollies came from a different pet store so I don't think this is a problem the fish had originally, it seems like my tank is killing them! Unless the new group gave the original 2 a disease that killed one of them within a couple days.

So, I followed all the instructions and tested the water. Here are the results:

pH Over 7.6
High range pH 8.2
Ammonia 0.05ppm
Nitrite 0 ppm
Nitrate 0 ppm

Ok so... I don't understand! Aren't all of those numbers fine? What is killing my fish???

By the way, water temperature is 85 degrees Fahrenheit

I'm surprised ammonia is not higher, is that because of the real plants, the bio wheel, both, neither?
