Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I am having serious issues with some guppies i bought from a local Wal-Mart. I now see where I bought them was the first mistake, one I won't make again.
All but one died this week , the last one today. The gills are swollen like big ballons and the mouth is just wide open.
I need to know if this is something bad I could have done or if it's just their fish.
I went back to wal-mart to exchange them out and I get to the tanks that were full of colorful life 2 days ago to see 20 dead guppies with about 4 live ones.
I'm so outraged about this, I won't even get started on the other fish. I go to the manager about this and he tells me it must be my water conditions.
:x What a joke I had it tested at petsmart they said it's great.
My big fear now is my other fish, I don't have a separate tank to place new fish in so I placed them with the others. So far all others are fine.
Someone really needs to give wal-mart a clue, the idiots they have working in the pet dept. certainly don't have one.
I'm sorry for ranting on but i'm so upset and worried for my other fish. Please offer up any advise you may have on what caused the deaths of these beautiful fish.
Thanks
