Last night I went to do one round of my water changes. I started with my 75 with all my parrots and clowns, and did that. NO problems. I went to my 46 with my colony of baby Frontosa, no bigger that 1 1/2 inches, but most were about an inch or less.( We were growing out till they took over the 75 and we figured out which we were keeping and which were going.) About an hour later I see my largest one swimming at the top. Our favorite because he had seven stripes on one side and 6 on the other. He started twitching and laying down, then died. Then another started doing it. And another. And another. With in five minutes I lost 4, I started scooping them into a bag to go put in my 55, and took those fish in the 55.. and move them with some others that would get along for the night. All my frontosa and severums were now in this tank, slowly dying. I sat and cried watching but couldn't do anything else. I woke up this morning to 4 of the big ones alive and the rest of the 15 my husband scooped out before I woke up.All the severums made it. I don't think I have felt that bad in a long time. I am still crying this morning and just needed to vent. I know my husband is upset because I even killed the red stripe front we had just picked up. I dont know what happened. Why one tank and not both. (god forbid). But I just don't get it. I need to go find some Kleenex now...
