Sorry to hear this news. Perhaps the rest of the shoal have had time to become immune and will be OK now 😔

Been almost a month since my last update, I got tired of reporting the deaths of the Wapoga Rainbow's as after the 2 older ones passed the following week or 2 the rest of the group ended up passing of the same thing with the exception of the one which looked completely different to the rest of the group - The young female which was ID'd by @black ghost who is still going strong, here is a new shot of her;

I'm pleased to say that all 5 Boesmani & 5 Lake Kutubu are all doing well, can't believe I've only had them for 2 months, feels a lot longer! People that come over have said they have noticed they've got a bit bigger but I struggle to see it but I guess that's because I'm looking at them every day. Long way to go still until they are fully grown but here are few new shots of some of them;

Shame aboutt the Wapogas, must have been a weak batch. :(
The rest are looking good though. :)

Thanks plankton, I asked at my LFS if they had experienced any issues there or had any one else report anything and they swear they've had zero deaths and no other reports from customers so either I was extremely unlucky or there is something about my tank that doesn't agree with the Wapoga's.
