Did this happen after a filter change/cleaning or a water change? *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

If they are, how did you acclimate them, and did you ask the LFS what the tanks parameters in the LFS are? Keith knows his stuff. He will get it figured out for you if you give him all the info. Good luck bud! "Talk is cheap. Action can be almost as affordable"

There must have been big difrences between the water. I have now lst 5 in total. There is nothing I can do except acclimate the replacemtns better. I will also be getting my harlies next weekend as well. Thanks. Chris

Sometimes they have a batch with poor quality and you can just watch them dying in your tank without apparent reason. I also had this bad experience before. Now I'm not buying any fish until I'm sure that they've been in the store for a few weeks and are still looking good. Good luck!
