Illness/Sickness: All of my taddies died :(

[Cocoapanda10]

Not all of them. I have 2 that i'm keeping, but how in the heck did I end up with 2 out of 24? I had 2 tiny ones, and Cocoa (he's either a piebald or a wild-type I can't tell xP) and sparky (my gold) are just the right size, they've never been ill and they hatched big.

And then one by one, my numbers depleted. Until I was left with 4. Cocoa, sparky, and 2 very tiny ones. They were fine, until today. I checked on them, only to see 2 bugs attached onto their underside. I immediately poked the bugs off them and made the bugs suffocate in my net. I was trying to make them swim for about 10 minutes. That's when I knew they were gone. Died a very painful death

Definitely going to file a complaint into the store that sold the live food to me. From now on i'm buying cut up earthworms for Cocoa and sparky from a trustworthy shop a little further away, along with their sinking bloodworm pellets and cubes.
Maybe sometimes i'll buy brineshrimp from the horrid place we call WhiteMoss.

That shop will be Warrington Pets & Exotics. I hate you WhiteMoss. I also hate rivendell for giving me mostly dead food.

Oops, made it sound like cocoa and sparky were dead xP They're not. They're not anywhere close to death's door. I hope they have kids of their own one day (from new axolotls i'll be getting in some years) that don't end up like this disaster.
