Otto; or, Up with Dead People (2008)
IMDB rating: 6.40
Plot: A young zombie named Otto appears on a remote highway. He has no idea where he came from or where he is going. After hitching a ride to Berlin and nesting in an abandoned amusement park, he begins to explore the city. Soon he is discovered by underground filmmaker Medea Yarn, who begins to make a documentary about him with the support of her girlfriend, Hella Bent, and her brother Adolf, who operates the camera. Meanwhile, Medea is trying to finish “Up with Dead People,” the epic political-porno-zombie movie that she has been working on for years. She convinces its star, Fritz Fritze, to allow the vulnerable Otto to stay in his guest bedroom. When Otto discovers that there is a wallet in his back pocket that contains information about his past, before he was dead, he begins to remember a few details, including memories of his ex-boyfriend, Rudolf. He arranges to meet him at the schoolyard where they met, with devastating results.

Why are my fish dieing one by one?
I have a 55 gallon freshwater tank that i clean 15-25% of the water once every week. Ive had this tank for over about a year and my fish were doing great. latley though, one by one they keep dieing off. about 2 months ago my molly died, about 3 weeks ago my dwarf gourami died, and 2 weeks ago one of my ottos died. This week one of my platy isnt looking so good. I think she might die too and she is one of my favorites.
There was never a problem with any of them before and all my fish are acting like they always do except for a couple of days before they die only one of them will start looking weird and then sure enough it turns up dead.
Why is this?
p.s. this is what i have in my tank:
1 meadium sized pleco
1 olden dojo loach
2 ottos
3 platy
5 neon tetra
4 zebra danio
6 Black skirt tetra
and 1 red tailed shark (yes most think sharks shouldnt live in community tanks but he is very peaceful despite their reputation and never picks on any of the other fish)
1)i think the oto might have just died from stress as all three ottos used to be in a smaller tank and i upgraded them. The other two are doing fine though
2)The pleco does create a lot of waste but he isnt very big and has stopped growing. He is at tops 6inches long, probably not even. But yes his waste may be a problem…ill up my water changes to 30-50% a week
3)My platy that looks sick still gets excited and ready to eat when near feeding time
4)I have a heater set at 76 degrees all the time
5)I turn the light off at night and on during the day
6)Money is an issue right now so i need a guess of what it is because i cant buy a testing kit (no kidding money is REALLY tight for us right now because im going through drivers ed and it costs a lot and our money is already always kind of tight
7)My decloranator is new, just bought it this month (the old stuff ran out but its the same brand and everything)
8)My tank is no where near overstocked.
Check your water parameters to rule them out. I would imagine though that they are fine b/c 1) you do a weekly water change 2) if your levels were toxic, the neons would be the first to go. From what you listed it doesn’t look like the tank is over stocked. The general rule is 1 inch of fish per gallon of water. It’s possible there is a disease, but w/out other symptoms it’s difficult to diagnose. If the water parameters are normal, my suggestion is use an oxidizer, potassium permanganate, to sterilize the tank. This is the purple liquid used in chemistry lab to test for titration. I used this all the time when breeding angelfish. You can buy it at any fish store, Kent sells it as Poly Ox, or you can find it online in dry form. It’s safe to use with fish, it will sterilize the tank, but won’t drastically affect the beneficial bacteria. I would do this before possibly medicating the tank. Good luck

Do you have a water test kit? What kind of readings are you getting? The first thing you need to do is find out if your ammonia/nitrite/nitrate levels are okay. And if you go to a store to get the testing be aware that the water changes with time, so your reading could be affected just by the time it takes to get to the store. I would pay the money and get the test.
Some general ideas, it may be the tank is getting over populated as your fish grow. Plecos usually need a bigger tank than 55 gallons and they produce a ton of waste, especially as they grow bigger and bigger. The increased waste may be boosting your ammonia levels. To fix this (after you confirm it through a test) you can do bigger water changes more frequently, or you can rehome the pleco.
You may also want to do bigger water changes anyway. I do 30-50% once a week for my tank.
You may also want to test the water you are putting into the tank - if you have well or city water sometimes things get added to it from the ground. Nothing that harmful, but sometimes if it is raining or the snow is melting it pulls fertilizer into the ground water, and that translates as ammonia/nitrite/nitrate in your tank.
It could be your dechlorinator is expired, or it could be old age. Do you have a heater in the tank? If the water is too cold that could be killing them. There are a lot of possibilities.
I would get the water test done first and go from there.
*******************Updated in response to new info *********
If you can’t buy the test kit at least take a water sample to your local fish store that does free testing. That should give you some answers.
I would also talk to them about the pleco. If it is a common pleco it has the potential to grow to 2 feet long, and even if it isn’t growing now, that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be. The "fact" that pleco and other fish grow to their tank size is a myth, they grow until they either are adult size or die from stunting. If your pleco is stuck at 6 inches it is either a pleco that stays that size or one that isn’t healthy and happy, and you may want to find it a new home. Some local pet stores will take them for you.
In the meantime, I would be doing frequent water changes in case it is a problem with ammonia/nitrite/nitrate. Even daily ones, water changes rarely hurt as long as the water is treated and at the same temperature as the tank. And give the gravel a really good vacuuming.
If you did not have the oto cat or the pleco in there I would recommend aquarium salt as a preventative but they are scaleless and don’t do well with the salt. They don’t do well with a lot of meds actually. It is hard to treat a tank with otos in it.
Are you putting pH stuff in? I know some people try to keep their pH at a certain level, but at lot of fish folk find that the chemicals used to change pH can cause so much fluctuation that it really is better to leave the water at its natural pH than use the modifiers, unless you have very sensitive fish or water that is very extreme in its pH. There are many schools of thought that believe the fewer chemicals in the water (other than the decholorinator!) the better. I am not sure about the loach or the red tailed shark but I can tell you the other fish you have are not that pH sensitive.
In the meantime, frequent water changes, healthy food, and think about finding that pleco a new home.
If the platy exhibits symptoms of a disease (ich, fin rot, body fungus), isolate and treat.

your tank is over stocked;plain and simple.

To be honest without a listing of your water parameters (pH, gH, kH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate) it would be impossible for anyone to help you determine if it is a water issue or an illness/disease. Please edit your post and add a list of parameters.
Dwarf Gouramis’s are notoriously difficult to keep; they need pristine, and I mean pristine, water conditions. As for the otocinclus, that’s surprising; they usually either die right off the bat or live for years.
