NP. They go to a 10 gallon quarantine. It didn't take long for them to go from swimmy to slimy, spotty and dead. Very sad. From now on, I'll only buy fishes that were in the dealer's tank for at least a week and I may even treat them at home regardless. If they're healthy, they can take it.

This is the first time since 1991 that I've had to buy meds to treat fishes and I've bought lots of fishes since then. I've been very lucky.

PS: I don't think the last fish is going to make it. It's still swimming well but it's really slimy. I've got the PH running with lots of air (I don't have an air pump at the moment.)

Always a good idea to "freshwater dip" all new arrivals before QT or DT additions.

Just my opinion.
