Well I posted a post yesterday about my goldfish Bernard who moved away to the big Fish Pond in the sky.
Today Sherlock joined him.
We got them some new plants for them from P@H and then two of them die? At least Splash seems happy enough but this can't just be a coincidence! 8...
 
I can't shake the feeling that it was something in those plants. Makes me feel awful... :0
 
I know! My trust is even more greatly shaken now than it was after reading all the stories following the Watchdog episode. Poor fishies.... 8...
 
Really sorry for your loss.

RIP Sherlock & Bernard

So sorry, I have never had anything from plants? If you still have one fish left please test your ph levels in your water...it could be that..sorry if you have already done this. Fish are so funny to keep. I have lost a fighter but on reflection it must have been 2 so probably old age...sorry again
 
My cousins had this happen to them once, bought some plants and a few days later, all 3 of their 10yr+ goldfish had died.

Some people say to disinfect the plants before introducing them into the tank, but I cant remember what with.

But like suem said, see if you can get your water tested for nitrates, nitrites, pH, etc.. You can get dip strips but they're costly and not that accurate. Ive got this one: [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/API-Master-Test-Freshwater-120g/dp/B000255NCI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1352410264&sr=8-2"]API Master Test Kit for Freshwater 120g: Amazon.co.uk: Pet Supplies[/ame] and ive found it really good. Its also handy for if you ever go on the goldfish forums with a questions, they always want to know the water quality to help answer questions.

What sort of tank are you running?
 
I never trust live plants in my tank! I'm so sorry :( Goldfish have lovely personalities.
 
Whee are really sorry to hear about Bernard and Sherlock 8...8...8...
