GRRRR

[iloveyou]

so.. the ick that one of the new guys brought in killed everyone cept 4... and the 4 that are left barely move so they will probably die also..

heres the death toll..

bc bettas:
turquoise female
blue female
yellow plakat female

other bettas:
small blue female
2 cambodian females

ones still alive:
3 big females
1 red steel female from bc betta

thats from the 10 gallon tank...

i also have all the females left from my 8 gallon which are:
bc bettas:
1 orange female
2 opaque females

other females:
1 blue female
1 big purple/blue female
3 white/baby blue finned crowntail females
1 big red female

so i guess i got a 10 gallon tank empty for something to go in

Did you quarantine the new fish for at least a week before you placed them into a shared tank?

 

[fishflyfish]

Uh. Holy crap.

Sorry to hear about that.

sorry for your losses
another reason an emergency fish kit comes in handy
last minute emergency medication
i find that for ich,
jungle fizz tablets start working immediately and have always saved my fish, even when they were saturated with ich
good investment just in case

Sorry to hear that, iloveyou.

Good luck with the ones that are still around

i didnt quarantine the fish ... looked fine but i guess not...

im buying 1 last fish... then hopefully eventually the cons/guppies/kribs will breed enough so i wont need to buy any new fish

my mom brought home meds... but i think the meds killed them....
meh..


hopefully ill have good luck with the fish i have now

Oh my gosh! Sorry to hear about all that.
I have never quarantined fish before adding them to my tank. I just float the bag for a couple of hours and put them in and take my chances.
Just remember to add whatever you use in the water for new fish; tap water conditioner, stress time, etc.
Good luck in the future

iloveyou,I think you might be cursed or something! You haven't had good luck lately at all. I hope it gets better for you,and I hope your sick ones get better soon.

you should always quarentine fish before adding them to a community tank, especially bettas because they are so delicate and prone to diseases..sorry about your losses but I hope you learned a good lesson from it too

i used nox-ich...three day treatment. Saved my fish even after it had it for over a week and all he did was float all day or sink to the bottom not moving. (ooops, I was a newbie)
