Thanks for sharing this. It's uncomfortable to talk about. Nobody wants to publicly list their fish deaths. I've lost more than my share over the last year or so. It fills me with shame and dread.

It is somewhat comforting to hear it coming from someone with such a great reputation for taking superlative care of their fish.

It's hard to imagine what our fish go through on the way to our tanks. It's a safe bet that it is very stressful and often fatal. Even getting them through QT is no guarantee. It's impossible to know every factor that could contribute to their demise.

I'll continue to look to you for the best example of fish care I've seen.
