Hi i am new to this forum not to this hobby though
we recently moved. we got a 46 gallon bow tank. we did the usual start up things.
we went and got 2 balas. this was on 1/09/06 one died, returned it got two more, 1/11/06, on 1/16/06 i returned TWO dead ones, got TWO more, one died and i returned it today. Now i have two that are fine one of my origional from 1/9 and one from 1/16.
my question is i CHECKED the water, they made me bring in a sample of water and said its fine. my tank temp is 73. why the heck did they die? i mentioned maybe i got a "fresh" batch on the day they arrived to the store and maybe they were stressed and was quickly informed that i was wrong.
i have them in my sitting room where i am a great deal crocheting and i have not observed any bullying. as was suggested to me by the punk (literally) girl at pet store.
so i was wondering if anyone had any clues. i have decided that two are enough for me
