Hey all, a week and a half ago I got a pair of Banggai Cardinal from a store 2 hrs away. I drip acclimated them over the course of an hour, and they seemed fine, but wouldn't eat. All parameters were good, but they both died over the course of 5-6 days.
I contacted the store and they said it sounded like I did everything right.
EXCEPT that my salinity was too high (I had it at 1.0245). They recommended it in the range of 1.017-1.021.
My question is, would the salinity kill them (they never looked shocked or breathing heavy)?
Is it advisable to add new fish to the QT each time at low salinity and bring it up to match the DT over the course of their quarantine?
Thanks.
