Reply With QuoteWow if 50 for $35 that that is a huge difference Seaview is $35 for 100 that could be the reason why Seaview is selling so cheap, most likly the fish are not properly condition.
if i remember correctly is should be 50 for $30. i think not too sure as i now go for shrimps not cardinal anymore.

I've had a similiar experience too. I had >70 cardinals, all bought from seaview. 90% died within a week. I guess i introduced too many fishes into the tank at 1 shot and the BB couldn't cope. =( my current batch of tetras are doing better. have less than 20% loss so far. Its been 2 mths since i've introduced them into the tank.
I have brought another batch of 100 cardinal from SeaView about 2 weeks ago so far so good and I'm monitoring it let's cross our finger. Lizhien is your current batch also brought fro SeaView?
Yup.. Consolidated all the tetras into a larger 2ft tank with more live plants. I think they will be happier there. My previous set up was to have <20 tetras in my 1ft tank to keep the bioload down, but i think the lack of large 'shady' plants have affected them. They sort of lost their 'hiding plance'. I'm considering adding more tetras into the communal tank. Any idea if the 2 ft tank can support >100 tetras?
i wouldn't want to attempt putting >100 tetras in a 2ft tank. wouldn't it be too cramp for them to be moving around?
100 in a 2ft? Are they still alive?!
I only have 100 in my 6 feet... and I think it is only just nice..
not advisable to put 100 in a 2ft, my 4ft only have 100 pcs.
would recommend 20-30 will do for 2ft, at least they have more area space to swim around.
as for the Cardinal Dying may the the cause of NTD http://freshaquarium.about.com/cs/di...eondisease.htm
i got this once before and every day 2-3 tetra dying.

yah... same observation when my cardinals started to die... every day, about 2-3 will die.Originally Posted by stmoo
but the article mentioned that cardinals are kind of immune to NTD... Interestingly enough, Cardinal tetras are resistant to the ravages of Neon Tetra disease.
the batch of Cardinals i kept for around a year and they just got this NTD. 100pcs were totally wipe out within 2weeks.
so from then on, i don't dare to keep Cardinal for years, i change to rasbora. until this year i bought small size 100pcs from sea view, so far so go, now they are big Big size
But cardinal very swee to me so I still prefer Cardinal till date my 100 cardinal from sea view is doing fine.
Looks over crowded, Perhaps you introduced the fish way to fast and your filter couldnt handle the bioload?
