Anyone having trouble with these guys at 2.5". I ordered a batch of 8 fish. 4 orinos, 4 intermedia. All the same size as i requested from Rapps. Four days after receiving them i lost one. Belly was full. Today another which was about 5 days later. All other fish check out fine. Wondering if these guys are just a ***** to raise. Water checks out fine.
Intermedia

If the intermedia are wild caught they ars prone to die and can be tought to raise. Alot of the bigger ones roght now are farm bred and more hardy. Keep temps high 80s 87 88 salt waterchanges bi weekly and your should be good. What are you feeding full belly amd floating could have been a case of bloat. I lost an orino to bloat at that size a few months ago because i over fed
Water has always been at 86. Added salt today and more bacteria after losing an orino this morning. Rapps is getting another shipment in on tuesday

post up your water parameters if you can, there has to be a reason why your losing fish
I am feeding them feeder guppies. But no signs of stress or ich. Their tearing 100 up within a few days. Bellies are always full.
