Meh.

This was supposed to be a happy post, but it's hard to be cheerful when your fishtank has gone from having 16 fish to 2 in 24 hours. All I did was treat for an outbreak of whitespot...

I will never forget the time my angelfish from hell got whitespot so I treated the tank and killed the coolest catfish ever. This thing would follow my finger all over the glass and I swear he tried to talk to me. And the frigging angel fish killed him. I think it got whitespot just so I'd put the crap in the tank to kill the catfish. Evil angelfish.

*gives you a big hug*

It sucks... and 14 in 24 hours is a lot. :(

oh no! is it a saltwater tank? we had something similar happen and have been trying to treat one of our smaller tanks.

[identity profile] tuxedo-elf.livejournal.com 2007-12-24 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it's freshwater... it looks like the treatment was too strong... we followed the instructions, but fish forums say half a dose is enough. Damnit.

yea some fish can be very oversensitive to treatments. we had a couple fishies with some scale problem but they managed to be ok with the dosage. *shrug*

I lost 11 neon tetras and 3 harlequin rasboras if you know them... my one larger fish, a siamese fighter, is OK... for now at least.
