Is your QT well established? What are your water readings?

 

[zdthompson]

i have had the QT tank up and with fish for a week
all readings are 0 spet ph which is 8.7 and SG is 1.09

it died. seems like every time iask for help on a sick fish it dies right after i post any ways how would i have cured him of that?

You need to post earlier to cure your fish....by the time you having him on his side for three days it is too late. If you look at your fish daily and you see anything like a red area, spot, growth, post right away and maybe someone can point you to the right treatment before it is too late. Lesley

lesley, zd needs to start completely over and listen to peoples advise.
hopefully all her fish deaths will teach her a lesson, but since she doesn't care for fish (per her other posts) i doubt it.

Wow, is there a patern that I missed? ZD, please feel free to ask us anything. Please don't wait until it is a 9-1-1 emergency. Ask questons, and certainly notify us at the first symptom of issues.

started out with leaving a baby cat shark dead in her tank for 3 days...
