Hi All,
I bought two fish last week, one firefish and one royal gramma. Put them in a 10 gallon QT. After a few days, I noticed that gramma is chasing firefish so I added a divider to the tank to keep them separate. Around that time I noticed that gramma is scratching a bit so I decided to use API General Cure. Since a divider blocked a bit of water flow and because it says on the box of API General Cure I decided to add two air stones, one for each fish. I did that last night and this morning I found gramma dead and firefish breathing heavily. Turned off the airstone but the firefish was soon gone too. Is it possible that I killed them with an airstone or was it maybe something else. They were hiding a lot and didn't eat much but they didn't look like they are going to die over night. Any ideas what could it be so I don't repeat it?
Thanks!
