S.O.S.!!!

I called the LFS and they said that she "wasn't acclimated well enough" and that her chances were "50/50." They also said I should add more Stress Coat to the water. Agree? Disagree? (I'm panicking!!!)

never liked stresscoat
try novaqua much better stuff
do you have protein skimmer?
if yes.. don't use stress coat
it will lead to a big mess!

I do have a protein skimmer, but haven't notced any big messes as yet. What's the difference between the two products?

Still awaiting arrival of the hydrogen peroxide....

 

[bluedempsey]

Will it help her get off the bottom of the tank and quit leaning on things? Will she cheer up and start swimming? WILL SHE LIVE?????

this is going to take alil stress off her!
turn out the lights, and cover it if you can!
the less stress the better

So, do you think it's the heat (probably not from what you said in PM), the acclimation, or something else entirely?

 

[spryandspringy]

Light are already off. I can cover up the tank for more seclusion, but that would mean taking my eyes off of her. Poor fishie!!!

like i told you earlier they are hard to keep
sometimes it's getting them to eat... sometimes they just fade away for no reason!
i don't know if it's the way they are caught or what?
i say out of the last 10,
7 just die for no reason!

 

[spryandspringy]

ACK!

I don't like those odds.

 

[bluedempsey]

seriously! it's a beautiful fish
but it's a role of the dice

 

[bluedempsey]
