All my fish died
Any ideas? they were cold water fancies, they where fed once a day, 1/4 tank clean every month, had a filter, and had all the additives that should of been added.
We got 6 in January, lost one a month later, and the rest have followed suite aprox 3 weeks apart till today when the last one died. The snail that appeared is sill ok. I would like to get some more, but obviously dont want to be responsible for 6 more deaths. They didnt have any signs of illness. Thanks in advance

Hiya, im assuming it was a new tank with new fish introduced? If so, it sounds like New Tank Syndrome.

Cold water fish need only be fed every 3 - 4 days. In fact over feeding can cause them to die and also can poison the water. Over crowding can be another issue.
You don't say how big the tank is or how many fish, but a general rule is for every half inch of fish, there needs to be 2 litres of water.
