I bought six juvenile angelfish for my new tank last Saturday, and the last of them died today. Same symptoms as the last time I bought angels from that store almost two years ago. Kind of grout back the heartbreak of losing my angel pair after I added the last ones I bought. I decided not to buy any more fish from that store, which sucks because it is the only fish store in town I go to. The only other pet store in town disgusts me with the way it treats it's animals, and from what I've heard, it's employees as well. They had a seriously mistreated python in there last few times I was there, it disappeared and was replaced with another, and I highly doubt anyone bought Eugene the 8 foot python. Pretty sure he died. So I just don't even walk in there. So now I'm stuck either traveling and finding a new LFS which is hard because my car is broken, or paying out the butt for shipping in fish I can't even inspect before buying. Add to this that my previously stable betta sorority collapsed leaving me with one female, and that my two male Bettas died within days of each other, and you have one discouraged fishkeeper. Not giving up, though. I bought some general anti bacterial and anti parasite medications today and after I remove all of my snails from my 58 gallon tomorrow, which will be TONS of fun because the tank is a full two feet deep, I'm going to start treatment and try to ensure that the tanks free of any residual disease once I figure out where I want to get my new fish.
