just a question for you from a newbie....the place where you got your fish was there any sign of sick fish in the tanks? it could be that when you bought them one was sick and it could have infected your intire community. just a thought. i bought some fish way back years ago that looked great in the store and when i got them home about a week later they all looked sick. i checked everything water, ph, checked for saline in the water etc...when i went back to the store i found out the whole lot of fish there had died from something....so just be careful where you buy your fish. some petstores dont care about the health of them they just want to make a sale. jmo
