uhm.. isn't this discussion revolving around a 36 G tank???
btw joepeet65, what is in the tank for substrate, decorations, driftwood...etc.. it is possible something may be leaching a toxin in the tank
rocks, driftwood and substrate especially in a new tank I think can be the culprit to many similar health issues.
over time as the tank ages and water is changed the toxins have diluted to the point that there is a reduced loss of live stock.
one reason I am very cautious when adding any new deco to a tank.. I tend to over do the cleaning,rinsing, soaking no telling what may be attached to the decor.
