The only one who was fine was the algae eater...after 3 days of pulling two or more out a day I decided to euphanize them...never thought I'd cry over loosing fish...I have a new tank set-up-cycling now and nitrates are up to 10 nitrite 0 amonia .50 and ph 7.2...another week or so I guess...I think I'll stick to petsmart for all my new fish....they all seem to know alot there in Robinson, pa....I just posted all those pics of my old guys...at least I can look at their pics. I believe the ick turned to a terrible secondary bacterial infection as the cysts on their bodies opened and they looked terrible...all will be missed....I'll post new pics when I get new guys in there....got the API master test kit and I'll not trust the pet store to test ever again. My readings were much different than what they said....thanks to all for your support!
