Hi cluckcluck, you have too many fish for that size tank. They produce a lot of waste and dirty their water. That's why a larger tank. More water and more substrate in the larger tank make it easier to control dramatic shifts in water quality. Small tanks actually are quite difficult to manage. This may explain why you keep losing fish.

Edit: Whoops, sorry, just went back and counted how many fish. Your fish numbers are still pushing the limit because cory catfish produce a lot of waste, but your primary difficulty probably is as I noted, the difficulties of managing small tanks.

Thanks for the advice.But,
This only started last year, I have been keeping fish 9 years, same tank, same way.

Hello,

I have a 30 gallon tank with three Agassizi cory catfish, 7 Otocinclus catfish, and too many Molly fish!! I love the molly's but the never stop breeding!

I use all living plants and sand at the bottom. Sadly, I lost my tetra's and panda corys a few months back.

I can't wait to see what everyone else has!!

My tank is a wreck now, although next week it'll be beautiful. Right now it has an big goldfish and a tetra that bullies everyone but him. Or should I say bullies, because they are the only two left. Goldfish is peaceful but has asserted himself as boss one too many times to that tetra. It makes me so sad to think about all the passed fish after the tank was neglected, now it just has some mismatched decor and lonely fish. );

I am so sorry to hear that, trust me, I bet it is and will be extremely beautiful, you need a hug! I went through a bad route of fish dying a year ago too. I hate it!
