Bderick67;963531; said:The pic below is of two tin foil barbs that came with a 55g tank I bought. The tank was never cleaned, water was never changed, Water was only added for evaporation. According to the seller she had these tinfoils for 6 years.
Unfortunately they both died within 4 hours of being acclimated to clean aquarium water.
Not surprising, they were probably living in water with pH of 4. I have to say that I hate working at an LFS. I think 95% of the fish I sell are dead in less than a year. I feel like I'm sending them to their doom.
