Thanks everyone for the support. Now came home from work today and the split bar is dead also!! Ugh!! Are they that sensitive and fragile at that size?
VERY.
Tiny Dats are very fragile to the extend that once caught from the river, it would take a few weeks to a month before you can even think about doing partial water changes to acclimatize them to your city water.
Even after growing them out to an inch or so, the next problem is to get rid of those parasites that came along from the river.
A reputable exporter from Indonesia should have done all these "trouble" to get healthy tiny ITs out in the market. Of course there are exporters who sell "cheap" catch in big bags of 50 to 100 tiny ITs, along with the dirty river water. The rest is on you.
ITs are bulletproof really after the proper transitioning and proper acclimatizing to living in a tank environment, only after once you get those early hassles out the way..
