Have you tested your water? Does it test outOK? Is there any chance you did a change and forgot to add your dechlorinator back to the water?

I've used the Super Soft&Moist food with many species, from tiny "dwarf killifish" livebearers up to kribensis and apistos. It's a good food, particularly in encouraging picky eaters. I don't think the food itself is the root of the problem. If you overfeed it to the point there's some left 24hours later, it will visibly start to grow.... something bacterial or fungal on the food itself, making it white and slimy orwhite and fuzzy. That happens long before it decays enough to really foul your water,and most fish won't touch itonce it starts going white. Fish eatingtoo much of it might get constipated, but I can't think of a wayit would outright kill them.
 
tested the water its okay and i only changed the water after they died cuz i wanted to be safe cuz i put in an aqua master multi cure medicine in a few days befor but i realy dont think that did it cuz i have used that heaps of times befor with nuthing dieing as for the dechlorinator from what i gather where i live they dont put anuth of that stuff in the water to harm the fish and theres no need to use it oh and befor any thinks i am wrong there i no im not i think it has some thing to do with liveing in a small town or some thing when i first got into fish i had herd about that stuff and asked alot of qestions but the pet store and every one i no told me not to use it cuz there very little of the stuff in it and i have had no truble of fish dieing befor
.....oh thanks for the info on the Super Soft&Moist food thats good to no i dont spose u no any thing about a shimp pellets formula that wardley makes thats anuther new food i have been feeding them but i was feeding to them some time befor they died so i dont think it has any thing to do with there death but hey if i should not feed them that it would be good to no the pet store guy said his cory got realy fat on it
