Hows your specific gravity.. and Phosphates.. everything else looks good... let me think

SG is good for FOWL.. I dont think you can do anything right now, is give it time,, maybe it will come around. You didnt see any fighting? right?

 

[matt b]

nope no1 fights at all

 

[miaheatlvr]

well you acclimated them properly and your parameters look good, One clown is stressed but the other one is fine, the only thing you can do is let nature take its course, whatever that may be. Sorry if I cannot add anything to that.

I am sorry for your loss and do know how it feels. I wish there was a place you could send fish to get a necropsy done on them to find out what really happened.
