Cycling with fish: species

[FreshyFresh]

I'd wait also. It could be bad stock, but the last thing you want to do is keep plunking more fish in there until you wait it out, measure and monitor. This is all part of the hobby.

Do the right thing fishay12, just begin starting up another tank or five.

HaHa I wish I guess I can wait but I was really excited about this weekend because I have been waiting, as you know. Huge bummer

Just found a second dead one. ;( apparently something is definitely wrong. What should i do to save the third? Please help! It looks like there was a depression in his chest from not eating... The last one is swimming around and I think I saw him eat a couple times so I will pick up bloodworms or brine shrimp tomorrow to get him fattened up if he makes the night.

Find the disease and illness section in the forum to see if any of the fish could have an illness your not aware of.

A few seem possible but how do I know exactly which one?

If there are no obvious external signs of a disease, then it might be internal parasites. I would add API's General Cure.

Ok i will pick up some as soon as the store opens.

I think they just did not eat because the one thats left was the one eating. I will still wait a week or so.

Alright I know this is probably not the best but I will wait to see how my cory acts in the next day or so and then I will get a few tetras or an angel or cories or a bushynose.
