I had 5 zebra danios and 5 cherry barbs in my tank. I then added an algee eater and 4 guppies, 1 male and 3 female. 48 hours later 2 guppies were dead. Gradually all my fish are dying and now im left with only 2 danios and my algee eater. The first death happened between friday evening and saturday morning. My tank is a 20 gallon tank. All the dead fish had a colourless shredded tail and blood in there gills. I have tested the water which was fine but did a 25% water change on the safe side and added water conditioner and bacterial growth which i always add following anyway kind of water change. The petshop said its Fin rot so im adding a fin rot treatment daily as stated but the fish are still dying. Is this the actually problem or is there something else wrong?

The danios and barbs were all fine in the tank for 2 weeks before i got the guppies then within 48 hrs of introducing them the problems started. I tested the water which was fine but i did a 25% water change to be on the safe side before i added the fin rot treatment which doesnt seem to be working.
