All Mollies dead in 40 gallon tropical aquarim tank. I know i know i hear it over and over agian these fish are brackishwater fish and well there was some salt about 3 table spoons in 40 gallons of API aquarim salt. anyway i did a water change today i did a 10 gallon swap cause the water looked a little cloudy. that happened 2 hours ago now the water i put back in was aged 24 hours and was the same temp as the tank and had tertra aqua safe decholrinizer in it. i kept the water warm using the same brand stealth heaters as in the tank to ensure no difference and i checked before putting the water in. so anyway 2 hours after the water change i go down stairs and 4 out the 6 of my mollies are dead. the other two are not looking so hot the rest of the tank is fine and acting normal
