I very highly suspect this is killing your fish. Just looked up the ingredients of kylon fusion paint. Here see for yourself. http://www.paintdocs.com/webmsds/web...C=724504025184

OY! That can't be good.

One other thing to look at.......when the fish "die" are they still in the tank (meaning can you see the dead body) or do they just disappear? (here one day, gone the next) If the latter is the case, maybe you have a mantis shrimp????
