best is to quarantine them

- put in a separte tank
- add in some anti chlorine
-add salt
-those green liquid medicine..just a few drops will do.
- put for one or two days

Sorry to hear about your fishes. Its always necessary to quarantine feeders for at least a day. For me i stick to goldfish, cos its easy to spot the bad ones. Mollies, Longkang fish, torsats usually have something nasty hiding in them. Or convert to pellet / mp. (Which i've failed with my fishes regardless of what methods)
Better luck next time bro.

How do you spot "bad" GFs? Mind sharing?

My quarantine tank is a 2ft with OHF and also an air pump. Usually look for the floaters. Those that always stay near the surface with fins all closed up, and gasping for air. Whenever i top up i will add in Malafix. So far so good. Been feeding my Armatus,Tatauaia,VATF and RTC with GF feeders w/o any incident(touch wood). But this is just my personal experience / preference and might not necessarily work for others.

But mollies 9 out of 10 will get sick easily, actually is depends on how you quarantine uour feeders, best is quarantine uour feeders for 1 to 2 days before feeding your fishes.

Agreed bro. Had quite a few bad experiences with mollies that break out with ick the next day.

Anyway.. Suddenly so many die sounds abit too serious if just due feeding feeders alone. Could it be something else?

Hi I feeding the tiger barb to my arowana... Tiger barb fish is very sensitive fish...

Hence I assume that if my tiger barb is swimming healthily I will feed them to my arowanas...

I bought the tiger barb from c328 selling one packet 600cents and it seems to be wild caught ...

I think should be quite safe... As usually wild caught fish are usually hardy...

Its really best that you quarantine them regardless of wild caught or bred in captivity. Cos you never know
