Sorry the red VT isnt quite clear..her eyes are fogged over.

None of the stores here carry the Kanaplex...so the Maracyns are all i have.

I had to put the Red one down. She was flailing and trying to get air, and not being successful.

Pictures?

I do believe you need to be using conditioner to the water unless you are using RO or spring water and you've tested it regardless to be sure. Stress Coat or Prime is good. I see how old they are but how long have you had them?
we have had out water tested, we dont need the conditioner.
Iv had the multi for a almost year, the red for 5 months and the ct for 1 month.
