    I understand. They are no where near normal feeding yet. They will be QT'd for a minimum of 2 weeks.

    I am always treat my WC at least a week with Metros
    and Bifuran. After that I treat them Pimafix and Melafix before I starting to feed them normal .

    Yeah it's a sickening feeling. I turned off the power heads. That has seemed to help as you could tell they just didn't have there strength back yet. Going to continue to monitor them. Headed to get some a treat for them that will hopefully help.

    Ah, not fun losing a fish. Hope the rest okay.

    I'm watching two others closely at the moment as they are still weak. I am going to give medicated food today that should help the group as a whole. I'll be heading to city pets later.

    Sounds like a good time, wish it wasn't such a hike out your way. Glad there have been minimal casualties. I think it's a bit strange when all wild caught fish make it, so this should be a bit reassuring

    Metro treatment began this morning. The weakest of all the fish was my only causality last night. However I did have Timber and GeneD come by and hangout for a while last night. We all came to the same conclusion on the one. It was great to talk fish, show off the fish and just hang out with people who have the same passion about fish and a great amount of experience keeping trophs and petros. I can't thank them enough for coming by and offering some great information and tips.

    Good deal. They look great. They seem to have been quarantined just fine

    You are right, but they have not eaten since Tuesday. I fed a small amount. The fish already seem more alive, and more active. They come right to the glass. There tearing up the algae on the rocks.
