also, what do you think of the size of my tank? someone told me that it was too small for 6 fantails and that might be why one of them was sick

thought i'd best let you know that my poorly fish has passed on to the big pond in the sky we took him to the aquatic centre we got him from in a jam jar and a sample of the water from our tank - they checked our tank water and it's all fine, he checked over my dead fish and said he couldnt see enything obviously wrong except he was thin, and because he was already dead he couldnt take a scrape to see what the problem was. So still dont know if/what i did wrong but we wont replace him (i'm a bit worried we may have overstocked - 6 fantails in a 110 litre tank??) and i'll have to keep a close eye on the others.

Thanks for your help anyway, much appreciated...
