All valid point but totally off topic. The OP is putting down perfectly healthy fish as he cant keep them anymore.

Nice !!

What a depressing thread to have read.

Completely agree Sev Mama

Bit difficult to say it was the lfs fault without knowing any information about the OP's tank. It may have been acclimation it may have been a sick fish it may have been tank parameters it may have been stress. Now that we know a bit more information about the OPs tank it may be easier to say...

Bit soon to say who's at fault imo without knowing the water parameters.

Welcome!!!

I rinse my hands thoroughly before putting them in the tank and if I've to reach to the substrate I rinse my arms too!

Sorry to hear you lost your fish :-( What "stress relief" did you add? Does it make tap water safe? If you were in the middle of doing a fishless cycle and then added fish how did you go about that? How long have the fish been in? A water test would also be very useful to see whats going on.

I like it!! Water looks lovely and clear

Lol! :) maybe...

Well that's as clear as mud! Words seem to be pronounced differently depending on location etc.

The one thing about rules in engilsh grammar is there is always an exception. :)

Except for: scrolled and patrolled. They have long vowel sounds. :o)

If you can manage a large water change do it. The main body of bacteria you want builds up in the pads, the sponges, the gravel and the surfaces so perform pwcs to keep the water non toxic to the fish. Your aim is to keep nh4/nh3 and no2 at 0.25 with fish in and eventually these will drop to 0...
