tetra

Question
Hello,
I have a community fresh water tank. I have five smaller fish in a 10 galloon (gourami, mollies and one black skirt tetra).  Recently, I noticed that my tetra looks like he is twitching, its like his body kinda wants to float on the side, but he is fighting it. I also noticed he looks a little bit swollen not too noticeable. so i think he is sick but not too sure wut to do!?  I had a real plant in there that died....could that have contributed?? I'm not too sure wut to do how to cure him....please  let me know! thank you....

Hi Shanna
Do you have a test kit to test ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates?  If so, what are those readings?

How often are you doing water changes?

How much water do you change out at a time?

How long's the tank been set up?

If you're on city water, are you using a dechlorinator?

And....how long was the dead plant sitting in the tank(dead)?
