Kitsune

Lost two of my cherry barbs today. I just bought them about a week and a half ago but two of them already died...

*sniff*

So sorry you lost your cherry barbs, Kitsune. What was the cause?

Hello Kitsune. Sorry to hear about your losses. I know it isn't easy. Any details as to the cause?

I'm really sorry you lost him.

Kitsune

Have no clue really. Checked the water parameters and everything is fine. (ammonia - 0, Nitrites - 0, Nitrates - 15 PPM) I suspected when I bought them that there were two who were a little smaller and weaker than the others and that if I was going to lose any of them it would be those two but I can't see any real reason for them dying.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

How are the other fish in the tank doing? Any signs that anyone else might be sick?

Kitsune

None, the others are swimming around fine and always come to the top looking for food. The other two were near the bottom a lot, I am just assuming that they were weak and couldn't survive the transition from the pet store to my tank. I've had them about a week and a half and those two never really perked up.
