I also thought it was crazy at first, but they were fine for the last 6-8 months and were growing and breeding like rabbits.
I was careful to age the water, adjust the GH to maintain at 8 and monitor pH/nitrate closely.
This is even a planted tank, with excel/EI fert dosing and CO2 injection.

Yes, it all sounds crazy, but if those are the reason for deaths, why only after so many months?

The only thing I changed was I switched to Seachem Prime a few months ago as well as started dosing Benibachi stuff. That's why I suspected TDS and sulphur.
