Aquarium Advice Freak
I bought 2 dwarf gouramis from pet smart. After acclimating them they both died the next day. Did I murder these fish?
PH 7.8, nitrates 5, everything else 0, heavily planted, low bioload.
I put the bag in the water for an hour to equalize the temp, then put them in an isolated bowl and added 1/4 cup of water of aquarium water every 15 minutes 4 times to avoid pH shock, then fished them out with a net into the aquarium, then added some stress coat. One stared at the corner until it died the next morning and the other swam a bit then died that afternoon.
Feel terrible and I'm not sure I want to add any more fish until I've figured out what I did wrong.
