After losing the 2 fish on Sunday, we went back to the shop with the dead fish and a water sample to see if she had any ideas. She confirmed the water was "perfect". Very generously, considering we'd had the Danio 3 days and the Halfbeak 3 weeks, she offered to replace both.
After consideration, we all agreed the Halfbeak had probably died because of the attentions of the male, whilst a bit of in fighting in the Danios could mean there were too many males. So I asked for a couple of Danios instead. To replace the 2 fish, she gave us 6 Danios! She also tried to give us females.
Now one of the Danios passed away last night - I daren't take it back in case I come back with more. It was swimming on it's own at the top of the tank yesterday, and now another is doing the same! Maybe there's a fault in her batch of zebra danios?
On a positive note, one of the Leopard Danios has gone form being extremely fat and about to burst to only slightly fat - so we're hoping she has laid eggs. I've hovered up some of the exposed gravel and kept the water to see if I can collect and save some eggs. Who knows?
