I went to petsmart and they had 3 red bay snooks.....I bought 2 of them for 30.00 bucks a peice :0 First 24 hours everything was fine...my baby oscars and jaguars are doing fine....i put a few ceramic pots for baby oscars and jags to hide in....when I came home from work....both the snooks were dead....water chem was fine... temp @ 78 ....any reason why this could of happened? I have been in fish for some 10 years....I am quite baffled?? :0
 
huh never heard of this happining would be pissed if i spent $60 and they only lasted a day you should be able to get a refund hope you froze the bodieds
 
we'll thats good hope you have better luck next time
 
They were probably sick when you got them, i would be worried about them spreading what ever it was to my others unless you quarenteened them first.
 
of course....and thats why...when i had my old 75 gallon tank....i would quit buying feeders for my jack demp...i hate to quarantine...instead i could catch baby perch from a local pond with a cast net....and cut out the diseases by 80% i bet :P
 
just because you net something out of a local pond doesn't mean they are free of diseases, especially internal diseases like worms
