and this

 
holy crap! i know how it feel losing fish man. sorry about that.

it look like they got ammonia burn.
 
How long did you acclimate them for? Alot of stores keep Indos in brackish.

Might have just been a stressed batch also, did you ask how long the LFS had them?

Whatever the reason, it still sucks.


Didn't notice this was a double post, so just copied my questions over so there wasn't 2 threads going on for the same thing.
 
Happened to with with a couple of NTT and a leichardti. They lasted a couple of days though. I also have no idea what happened but I ended up doing a 100% water change with the water coming from the bigger tank.-
 
Thing is I had to drive two hours from the place i got them from, I brought a styrafoam (can't spell) box and large plastic bag. I got a drip line goin into the bag and acclimated them for about 30 mins. Had a flat heater and battery powered air pump running and i even checked the water half way through. Thing is they were white eyed when i got them

I knew that the eyes where white when i got them and the only thing I compared that to was whitish eyes of a plec, which means the pH has dropped or something. Not blaming anyone but does hella suck

The other AT's, the blind green severum and my adonis show nothing.

Oh and the top one is a little different because he was frozen (my wife found him) and the bottom one was found by me under a rock.
 
not blaming on anyone myself but i think either their got ammonia burn during the driving, stress, or maybe you buy sick fish.
