That's good news. I shall set up a quarantine tank. Thanks again.

I try not to light shock them. Turning off the tank light with the room light on brings out the clown loach. The farlowella is the only photographically cooperative catfish. Day 5 Maracyn2. No further deaths. The remaining Roseline has regained a lot of color but does not appear to be eating...
