Fish Kill
I lost my entire population of shell dwellers in two days. Got up Friday morning, fed and noticed a couple dead fry. Scooped them out, went to class. Came home and there were a lot more dead. The adults were all gone by then, and half the fry. I pulled the still-living fry that I could catch and put them in an isolation tank. By last night, the last of those were gone, too. Damn. No physical signs, parameters were still okay, temperature was fine. They just died.

Re: Fish Kill
Bummer, Kenna. Which parameters did you check? Anything different done before the deaths, such as major water change or feeding food from a new container? Were there any external symptoms that you noticed-- slimey skin, labored breathing, etc.?

Re: Fish Kill
No major changes, ph and amonia were fine (at least until most of the fish had died, then that went up). Labored breathing and sideways attitude, but not until very late stage.
