Using a quarantine tank to treat fish with maracyn

I have been raising fish for many years and got lazy by not quarantining the fish I bought last week.I have lost 21 neons,9 black neons,1 albino bristlenose,4 cory cats and 2 small angels out of my 125 gallon in 1 day.Not for sure what is causing it yet but going to get Maracyn tomorrow.The fish will be swimming just fine and then turn upside down and die.All my parameters are good.I did a 60% water change tonight.All the fish have good color and look and swim fine.Make sure if you can quarantine!!!

 

Sorry to hear about your fish. What did you add to your tank? Hope they get better and you figure out what is going on.

 

6 more black neons and 5 siamese algae eaters

 

Sounds terrible now I really want my 5G to hurry up

 

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. And I know the feeling well. An expensive lesson to learn, but such is life.

I sometimes go to the LFS, PetCo, PetSupermarket, and walk out with my head low. I wanted to buy some very pretty fish they had in there, but did not want to put my own fish in harms way.

When you don't lose fish for a while it's very easy to get careless. Don't buy anymore fish until you get everything settle down again. And then set up a quarantine tank.

 

I do have a quarantine tank ,there was some other fish in there.I just thought a little reminder to help everyone out.
