its always hard to tell why a fish dies if the water looks good. were there any signs of some sort of disease or anything?
ive read about niggets that they die more often in the first couple of days.

How were they acclimated?

What are your other readings? Nitrite and Nitrate

Is there aquarium salt added to your water?

Did they look normal aside from being dead? (no missing scales)

thanks for the replys
unfortunatly thats all i can test for,
no salt
they both looked like they were alive till i touched them,
The gn's top fin was straight up

Were the stomachs sunken? how big were they? Nitrites and Nitrates need to be tested. What was their diet? Is there enough surface agitation?

I checked there stomachs before i got them & after-not sunken
They were both small-1.5 - 2"
the lfs was feeding omega 1 stuff & frozen bloodworm
i think theres is enough surface movement

Could have been a blockage, did they look bloated at all?
