Sad News ...

I woke up this morning, and all my Panda babies had died.

I'm unsure as to the cause, but one of them was looking a bit sickly, so just to be sure, I instituted a careful water change, using the 'rainfall trickle through the hand' method to make the transition especially gentle, but to no avail. INstead of just one sickly one, I've ended up with seven dead ones.

Just goes to show, luck still plays a part in this game.

UPDATE:

I have a survivor!

One of the little guys somehow managed to pull through hwhatever it was that saw off his siblings. He's a bit small, but looks as though he might make it.

I'm now waiting for the others to give him some baby playmates ...

bummer. It's horrible when it happens

Just out of curiousity - did the bodies have any marks or redness? Do you get a Water Quality Advisory from your water board?

edit - Oh, do you know if they died before/after a water change?

I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium. That would explain some of the things down there, some of the unearthly biological contraptions

Thanks everyone. Perhaps I should start a "Name the Baby Panda" competition thread!

Oh, and MkCube, I've cleaned some space out of the mailbox
