yesterday i added 2 female dwarf gourami's bought from the LFS.
Today i woke to a dead male neon blue dwarf gourami and a dead clown loach. Both of which i bought at walmart a couple of weeks ago. They had been quarenteened for a week before i added them, ive been testing the water every day with both aqaurium pharmaceuticals and the test strips. Both tests showed no ammonia or nitrites, Nitrate is between 10-20.
Since it was just the walmart fish im going to blame it on poor handling, since all the fish i have bought from that walmart have died. I have had very few casualties from the LFS because i know they do daily water changes and weekly ich guard in all of their tanks.
Can you see anything else that may have caused this? The fish were otherwise healthy, all i can think is that maybe they got too stressed or the way the guy at walmart was catching them, he was baging them against the side of the tank!
