no one to blame but myself..
nitrites were at a 5.. ammonia was 1..
19 dead 3-4 dying.. oddly another 10 or so doing ok...
i moved them into a 40 gallon holding tank so that they would not be eaten in the main tank... the tank was fully cycled but not for the bioload so twice daily water changes were a must.. lastnight i said "ill get them in the morning".....
the biggest one was purchased at about that size.. everyone else was picked up within the last year at roughly 1.5" (the size of the lil dead oddball in the middle)...
