concept : tank has nothing inside, water looks clear, must be OK~!
concept : add new fish, it's ok, cos it's alright~!
not quite right lah
cos when there's nothing in the tank, the biological cycle hasn't taken off yet
so when you add a lot of fish and plants at one shot, the cycle starts, you get massive nh3 and no2 poisoning
anyway, since your fish are kena liao, i recommend changing 50% water everyday for like a wk
the cycle should be sorted out together with your plants by then
if you notice reddish gills, adding some salt (1tbsp per 40l) should stop the nitrite burn
good luck~
