I was wondering if anyone had any exerience with these fish. I started out with 8 but am now down to 5. One by one they keep dying. They begin to get skinny and then just die. It is almost like they are wasting away. None of the other fish are having problems. It only affects one at a time. I have no clue what is going on. I know the ammonia is a little high. Routine water change is scheduled for tomorrow.
