A few days ago my 2 week old angel fry began dying. This was my biggest batch of fry to date. First about 5 then the next day 25. So I did a 50% water change and the next day another 25. After I came home from the CCA meeting a few more were dead. The folks from the CCA suggested unhatch brine shrimp eggs could be the issue or maybe Velvet.
What I did was to separate the fish into 3 separate tanks and lowered the temp from 82 to 78., they were all in a 20H, when I did this I realaized there must have been close to 200 fry, WOW!
Today none died and I still have about 125 left.
The conclusion I've come up with is there was too many fry in the 20H.
I found a few interesting articles on the effects of feeding unhatched brine eggs. I will post this separate.
