    Didn't list it before, but yes, that is in the course of action also. And my wife thought I was anal about the tank before:p!! From now on I will shake some flakes in a measuring cup then dump them in.

    I think it's sabotage. J/K :)

    Can't think of anything else it could be but the broccoli was a good thought too.

    Maybe little one tried to feed them some cheetos.:p

    +K to you for good luck. Hope the tank pulls through. I'd run lots of carbon in the meantime.

    I think Avery is ruled out, she loves the tank and can't even crawl yet! Mommy on the other hand...:-/:confused:!! No, she is too much of an animal lover. Maybe Zach wants me to tear down the tank so he can buy all my stuff half off retail?!?!

    Thanks for the post cuttingras and everyone else, I want to cover all the bases here.

    All of them acted very healthy. The tang was eating like a hog and so was the ff. They all contracted ick beforehand is the only common denominator. The ff got sucked to my PH but I think he just got too weak. Heck the clown has been in there since I started the tank, he survived the cycle but couldn't survive whatever this is!

    The ff, tang and clown all had ich at one point, but I don't think that is what did them in. A healthy fish should live through an ick outbreak but these guys couldn't. But yes, they all had ick at their death.
