perhaps the tank was in a mini cycle from the move and adding a new fish pushed the tank over the edge of what the system could deal with?

Test your ammonia.

Levels are fine the fish are turning white and have red blotchs like there bleeding( the yellow fish do) and there eyes are all cloudy and fins look like they falln apart

Cloudy eyes are a sign of water quality.

The levels can't be fine if the fish are dying, as the breakdown of the dead fish will cause some changes, unless you have done a masive water change.

When you moved the tank, did you take the sand with it? Any additives to stabalize the bacteria?

Sure sounds like FW septicemia when I had FW fish!
Also, check your Ammonia again! Your testing fluids maybe off.

Not sure what can be done at this point. Fish that far gone cannot be helped. In the mean time, lots of water changes and carbon the heck out of the DT. Make sure you clean the equipment (nets, buckets, siphon tubes etc) so that you don't spread that around.

Sorry to hear about this.
Hate to see a tank completely gone from one fish. Good luck.

You can't blame Aqua Giant for that. EVERY lfs gets a fish here and there that can be carrying something you can't see. Nobody can say they have never lost a fish or two from a top shelf retailer.

The healthiest fish in my tank came from Aqua Giant. And I know others with nice fish from there as well. The fish must have looked ok as you purchased it.

I am sorry this happened to you, but that is more a reason to set up a hospital tank.


Aqua Giant is a sponsor on here as well. I find it funny that nobody says anything when this sponsor gets bashed publicly. If this were any other SPONSOR the bullets would be flying.

Maybe consider using their forum and making your comments. Or call the store and perhaps talk to them. They are easy to deal with.

Looks like you had a dying fish issue in Feb as well... A few weeks back.

Good luck. Hope you do not lose anything else.

The lesson to be learned in not to add further fish until you know your tank has stabilized.
