Hi everyone,

I was going to have some fishes at Gilbert Maebe's house last
saturday with some good friends. I bought a school of Melanotaenia
macculochi Skull Creek (very pretty and small size). A friend of
mine the same fishes from the same tank. Gilbert's fishes are very
good and healthy.

My friend ste them in a 120 l tank (conductivity 500 ppm, pH 7.5).
After two days, one mac has a spot on his head who seems like
moisture. He died one day after. Today, one fish more died without
any traces of disease.

I hold mine in common water (800 ppm, Ph more than 7.5). I have no
stress and they spawn.

Has someone a threat to explain the dead of the fishes in my friends
tank ?

Cheers

Christian
