People are merely offering advice. Juvenile fish of any species are always delicate and they'll always be some natural attrition. Don't let this put you off.

Lol no need to go hard on this impulsive Kid, and there is also no need to bring Rclark into this, his rep is bad enough if your really looking for someone to blame, blame yourself and stop blaming Clark he did his job, he was your ONLY supplier and his fish did live for 48 hours
So first it's regular that dats die in the firs day or so, than it's i starved them and now it's i am a noob?

young dats due die, i am new to dats and i have read this in researching... witch you should have done in all the time you had waiting for your parents to get around to getting them for you...
no one said you starved them...if they weren't eatting they weren't eatting...i lost a stingray cause it wouldn't eat and food was availible 24/7...
yes you are a noob, and you most likly weren't 100% prepard...every one has to start somewere...now you know about the bad side to fish keeping, now learn the good side...just don't bring others down do to your mistakes/ sensitive fish being sensitive fish...
it is what it is...i have been delivered sick fish in the past, now you know what to look for...learn from it...
FYI i did a lot of research. Look at some of my previous threads from several weeks ago in the datnoid section. I had nothing else to do but research in my spare time. So your saying first it's regular for them to die but it's my fault they die because i am stupid noob. My water parameters are damn near perfect due to my daily water changes. Do you do daily water changes? My nitrate is below 10 always. So what did i do wrong? My tank water was perfect, they had food, the temperature was high, no predators, plenty of filtration, dim light etc. So is any of that enough to kill dats? I think i was given sick datnoids (here my noobness shows up) and gill flukes being invisible to the naked eye i assumed they were healthy. You can swear at me or whatever but just please dont call me a noobsbuse;3932436; said:
david i have a ton of dats and the only ones i lost was when i broke the tank and had to throw them all in a different one. I realy dont understand how you can have a fish for a few days (esspecialy a small dat they are super fragile!!!) and blame it on me. There are many factors, I told you what I do just because i thought it would help, recomended you dont do a water change everyday, and to add the water very slowly because they are sensative to water change.
Im not saying you killed the fish but maybe the tank wasn't set up great for baby dats or something I realy dont know, like i said i havent lost any to gill flukes.
But to refund + pay for the medicine for you when not a single of my dats has a problem doeesnt seem right

Good side and a bad side to the hobby, unfortunately fish die. Some fish are easier kept then others, and dats seem to be very sensative fish

repuatation has pretty much went to crap from 'st', and yea this isnt helping, but he looked at the dats, liked what he saw, later that night sent me multiple pms about how good they were great they were doing, and even put up a thread, i told him they will take ground shrimp/tilapia, flakes and pellets, but he told me they did eat anyway
If they realy didnt eat, all three should of been tried i told you that from the start all 3 maybe neccisary
