I'm still treating one by alone, hopefully it pulls through. Seems to be the last of the sickies, so I'm hoping they'll start getting better. Feeding the whole tank Ken's flakes once a day till everybody gets the hang of eating again. They have been grazing on the brown algae that's on the rocks, but oddly enough have not touched the green algae that was on the rocks that Andrew_B so kindly gave me.

If anyone can get them to pull through im sure you can. It will all be good they day they give you that first batch of fry. Watching them graze on that algae was awesome today.

First time dealing with a catastrophe like this man. So if anything this has been a great lesson to bring me up to speed on how to react, albeit an expensive lesson.
When I saw them graze after I put them in that tank, I felt a lot more at ease. It's a good sign.
You've helped so many, Sunny, but the learning never stops, does it? It hurts your heart when you lose them left & right. That feeling of panic and deciding how to react sucks.
180g - 2 Red Oscars, 1 Tiger Oscar, 1 JD, Convicts, convicts & more convicts
75g - 1 Silver Aro, 1 Mean Koi Angel
50g - Various platy & mollies
10g - 1 Green Spotted Puffer
I was not really panicking as much as I was ticked of at myself for not getting a carbon bottle first. After that it was just waiting to see how many were strong enough to recover. It's not over by far, got about two more weeks before I'll call it, till then I'll hope that the move into the Moliro tank and the added population well help calm them down so they can recover fast.
