Ive gotten about one hundred mosquito larvae from my friend that was raising them about 5 days ago. ive totally trusted him and had never gotten any problems from his larvae in the past, but now my two pearl gouramis were acting funny (swimming fast, panicing, gasping for air) and the oldest one had died :(. the other one is still acting funny, less now that i added some stress coat. my water parameters are fine but i dont know what this infection is. there are no new physical features on any of my fish that i can see, but it has to be something cause the pearl was 2 years old and perfectly fhealthy before this. should i be using maracyn for the supposed "bacterial infection"?????:nilly: help please.:cry:
 
Where did he source the mosquito larva? Was there fish mixed with these larva?
 
he keeps it in 5 gallon buckets. its outside in his backyard. the pearl gouramis ate the most out of all of the fish in my tank.
 
nobody???
