Good idea...
Not really a control, but at least gives this topic a better sample size to draw a conclusion...

The funny thing is that if somebody with 10 posts, regardless of their actual experience, tried to say that a certain genus of fish was dying in their tank and the ONLY reason could be low oxygen, this board would be all over them telling them to test this, test that and double check everything...

That or condescend for buying a fish that is considered high risk and unlikely to survive in the first place.

Regardless of post count, I'm as experienced as the guy with 10 posts in this topic. I do have dead fish with no other explanation, but that's all I've got. I'm not will to try and replicate it to test

As for the morality of buying these fish, it's a topic for another thread, which I will bring up when I have more time to type.
