One down fall is when they arrived peppered with ich. 9 redhead tapajos and 9 albino threadfin acaras looking like they were dipped in a box of salt.
Seachem must love these vendors….treating with cupramine, aquarium salt and 86 degrees. 4 days and hopefully they’ll be good. Still eating like champs. Goes are an 1 1/2-2inches and the albino threadfin are and inch. Enjoying the 125 pretty well.

That aquarium salt is way more expensive per pound than pickling salt/iodized salt/pool salt.

That's unfortunate. On a positive note this will pass and you can get on enjoying your new tank.

good to know I had the salt laying around so figured why not use it. I’ll keep the iodized salt in mind if it happens again. At least these didn’t have internal parasites like my last order.

Where the heck are you ordering from that has these issues? If it were me I would not continue to do business from someone who is selling fish in this condition.
