ARGH what am i doing wrong???

We buy new fish from our local vet/pet store where one of the assistants knows a lot about fish. The first thing she said to us was to keep the fish in the water they provided, and place the bag in the tank, so that the two lots of water mixed and the fish could swim out in its own time. It's not such a shock to the system then.

So that's one thing you're doing wrong. I think you're also rushing things. We were told not to even think of introducing fish to the tank for at least 4 weeks. Maybe before you get any more fish you need to do some research, and talk to an expert. It's not fair to the fish if they only last a day or two, because you can't wait to get the tank conditions right.
