The madagascar rainbow (Bedotia geayi)

Hi all,

At work myself and my supervisor (Colleen) have been having horrible luck with these fish. We've set them up 100% perfectly and cared for them exactly as described anywhere you read about them.

Usually after about two days after arrival the fish begin to die. Usually they just drop off without a single thing showing on them. Sometimes they develop a fungus.
We know it isn't the water, food, or improper care. The store obviously will not pay to have one looked at.

It's quite strange. We've even had them breed for us. Slowly the adults die off, even though they were able to spawn right after arrival.

In any case, we are at a loss. We both love these fish. One survivor we had once I purchased for Colleen - she's been eyeing them longer them me. It is now a large, colorful and healthy male.

Has anyone heard of importation problems? Are they hard to ship? Could they be diseased before arrival?

Any suggestions are appreciated...
