They are in semi planted fully cycled 2 gallon QT. They are on day 18.
50% PWCs done every 3 days.
Parameters generally: 0,0,2, 8.2pH, temp ~ 76
(I didn't test today b/c I removed the dead one who was sick but alive 2hr earlier and did 2 50%PWCs, sand vacumn, plant removal with peroxide soak)
All fish always slow drip acclimated. All water is dechlorinated and aged 24 hrs in pitchers.
I bought 4 at LFS "A" on August 18. 3 died within 24 hrs. (I believe all of the store's fish died that day, too) One survived until August 25.
On August 19, I bought 4 from LFS "B". First death was Sept 2nd. I began treating with Paraguard. 2nd death was this morning Sept 7th.
Fish "A" & fish "B" together in same QT tank.
There are 2 survivors which I don't know whether to treat with something or euthanize. Whatever they are dying from looks painful.
