    Just tossing in a thought... could be a disease with long incubation period? If they contracted it around the same time, it'll kick in around the same time?
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    the thing is, I don't know what it is:

    seems like the wild caught stuff are fine (like cardinals, apisto trifiascata etc..)

    but the none wild are not..

    filter = wash it
    water changes, daily?

    you have a bad biological problem here
    if you're desperate you can try some salt, relieves no2 poisoning

    I was at biotope yesterday and got another New pair of trifiascata. When I got back, however my older male ap.trafiscata was dying!, laboured breathing, fins all flaring, not moving but resting on crypt leave. Frozen bloodworms were dropping on it but it ignored the food and didn't move.

    this morning, its dead.

    so i now have 2 females and 1 male. new one.

    cause of death still unknown. should I treat with seachem paragard?

    Ay Chris,

    I think we better share money and buy microscope to check.....the death rate in your tank is almost as bad as mine....and causes are usually unknown.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    such quick deaths usually point to two things
    1. a especially virulent strain of parasite
    ime i've only seen 1 such parasite that could kill in a day
    chilodonella
    2. your water conditions are very out of wack

    btw, you still haven't told us the water change regime...

    water is crystal.

    ie: 3 times a week, 30%. additivies. some salt. sodium bicarbonate etc.

    --
    nothing has died since the last two deaths.
    ----
    however, after then and now, I've already treated the tank with.

    2 days anti fluke
    2 days myxaxin , broad spectrume bacteriocide
    3 days (today is 3rd day) of Paragard, ecto paracide + fungicide
