Hello everyone!
So, for once I decided to give petsmart fish a try in my aquarium. Inside I had a few platyfish and neon tetras already there that I've had for awhile. however to my surprise, the guppies from petsmart immediately died the 4 hours I was at work on the same day. I tested my water and everything was alright, so I just assumed it was a bad batch of fish and returned them. however to my horror, a few days had passed and all my fish were contaminated with fungus. Despite my best efforts for treatment and medication, none of the fish survived. I'm looking into the future to replace them after some angered calls to the petstore, but I don't wanna risk any other fish getting sick. The tank is empty now, so how long should I wait for any bacteria/ parasite to die? thanks
