RIP -- last danio glofish died. :-(

[coolchinchilla]

I'm sad to say that my last danio glofish died. He was vertical in the tank and couldn't right himself even to avoid my hand. I decided it was time to put him down (freezing in ice water). Poor little guy. He was so skinny and pale looking. I bought 6 glofish about 8 months ago and each one has died. I guess I thought danios were hearty fish (my neons are doing just fine in the tank) but maybe the glofish type aren't so hearty. Maybe it's something else.

Thanks for listening

I'm so sorry for your loss. Were they all purchased from the same lfs?

I'm so sorry. I know that was hard to do. I'm glad the neons are doing well.

Thanks guys. Yes all the glofish were purchased from the same LFS. My water is liquid rock so that might have been too rough on them -- but I always thought that neons were the pansies of the small FW tropicals world.
