QT is a 20L with a air pump with air stone, hob filter, sponge filter with a power head pulling through it. Fish were acclimated by floating and matching QT salinity to bag salinity. Ammonia has always read zero as per a Seachem badge.
I received 9 Longspine Cardinal fish on Friday 4/19/19, one died on the 2nd night and another on the 3rd. I've noticed white stringy poop from several of them on the first day, the first to die came in with significant damage on his tail fin, and what looked like a white smudge of secondary fungal/bacterial infection near the base of his tale. Several of them have minor damage to their tails. I have started CP at .6g per 10 gal, dosed general cure and Furan-2 as per dosages on the packages on Saturday, Furan-2 only on Sunday, did a 25% water change today then re dosed GC and Furan-2 again. I've been feeding some lrs, mysis, and I've tried some fish eggs. They are still quite skittish and feeding response has been very minimal no point in even attempting Metro or GC laced food. I'm going to attempt to hatch some brine shrimp tomorrow in an attempt to get them eating once it comes in from Amazon, with the intent of moving on to medicated food as soon as it is possible. I have also purchased some garlic gaurd, kanaplex, sulfaplex, and Nitrofuracin Green but they won't be here until later this week. I hate losing fish like this, and want to know the best way to proceed.
