any reason why?
i did a 30 % water change which is smaller than i usually do, and they still die!!!
ima throw 6 chemipures back in the filter, ive lost 3 fish since i have took em out, i guess thats why i lost em
im gunna add suppliments to the diets too, boost their got damn immune system.
ill try zoe( suggested by Blue depsey) garlic extreme by kent marine and vita-chem.
i hear that the saltwater formula of vitachem works better with freshwater fish than the freshwater vitachem, this true??
hey dude, dun be depressed, keep trying...

good fish keepers sometimes have bad luck.

it's sad that they die becoz of 30% WC.
One solution is to drip the 30% slowly. The impact will be less than pouring all 30% in one go. I do that but my drips are big. :)

Thats part of the hobby man, hate to say it but it happens. I just lost one of my goldfish. I change their water often, give them a nice diet, they have enough room but they still got a disease...then another two diseases on top of that. Some people can keep one in a bowl for 5 years....I do it right and loose one. I also lost my breeding pair of fairy cichlids....heater broke and got to hot in the tank. Then I also loose a lot of new fish (bulldog pleco and emerald brochis)...I blame the LFS for that, they don't know how to feed plecos and take bad care of their fish. It sucks but sadly, it happens. There are enough good times to balance out the bad.

I have the same prob with Pbass . It is the only fish I have bad luck with . I have 2 of 3 left , and now they just started to develop ick . If these two dont pull through it will make 7 total i've lost . Pbass is the only fish I ever have a prob with.
Delgado, what did they look like when you found them dead? Bent in stomachs? Cloudy eyes? Can you find any reasons to the death?
Sorry bout the losses
