Dead sword
Well, I had my first casualty this A.M. One of my Red Sword Tails was belly up. I had given the tank a small does of minced garlic last night as I read it was healthy to do so & the fish liked it. Maybe a coincidence or maybe not. Water parameters are all fine with Nitrites, Nitrates & Ammonia all at 0.... Any idea's? I'm going to take the fish back to Petco & get another or something else. Just seems kind of strange.

Each store seems to be surprisingly different. Some are clean and have no dead fish and knowledgeable staff. Not too common but it happens. Better than *mart.Found the problem. :icon_evil
Well, I returned the dead body to the store & got my $1.69 credit (with tax). I decided to NOT by anymore fish from them right now. Now, speaking in Petco's defense, I did buy two others along with the one that died & they are doing fine as of today. Time will tell. I went to a new store & bought some more fish. The name of the store is Rhode Island Aquarium & they have been in the biz for 42 years & they know their stuff. Anyway, I bought 4 Albino Cats & 2 Male Sail Fin Molly's. Got them soaking now. Wish me luck!!
