    Default Bad Fry? or bad guy?

    Half od my sunshine auloncarna and my o. libtathes have died. Actually more like 2/3. What gives? is this usual? I feed them flakes, and brine and change 10% every other day.

    Rudy- How old are they? How big is your fry tank? Does it have a sponge filter and is it fully cycled? 10% every other day in a small tank that's loaded with fry might not be enough. Especially if your feeding heavily. For example; my Angelfish fry tank gets a thorough bottom vacuum with airline tubing "every" night along with a 75% water change, and it barely keeps up with the mess they make. Fill us in with some more details. Usually, coming home to several dead fry day after day is caused by the weakest ones succumbing to deteriorating water quality.
    FISH RULE!!!!!
