I'm at a complete loss here. I setup a new tank recently. It's seeded from my large tank, so no real cycle. It has 2 honey gouramis, some brigs, and white clouds.
problem? white clouds keep DyING!!! I get them at petsmart. I don't usually buy fish there, it's usually pretty risky, but they're the only place that has them. I started with 10. Within 2 days I lost 3. got 3 more. That was Friday. Lost one over hte weekend, 1 last night, and now one is dying as I type this. I have NO idea what's wrong. Here's the params:
temp: 73 (they should be fine in anything below 75 from what I've read)
ammonia, nitrites, nitrates all at 0ppm (it's a planted tank). ph: 7.0
At first I thought it was jsut the luck of the draw coming from petsmart. Now I'm getting frustrated though.
any thoughts? I've never experienced this with any fish before. Everything says they're soooo hardy, yet this is NOT proving to be the case.
