1. Having a die off (diff. thread) please help

2. had 10 tiger barbs fed them new life for 3 weeks. had excellent color. moved them to a 55 with 10 albino tiger barbs (just bought). Have white/tan pool filter sand. started feeding tetra crisps. Now the normal ones are almost white with black stripes what caused this.
 
I would stick with the NLS and ditch the tetra crisps. Also it could be ammonia burns from an uncycled tank. Get the water changes going. I have a shoal of roseline barbs that are 3 years old in my 85 that I only feed NLS to and their color is spectacular and they are all close to the 5 inch mark.
