Darters-calcium2007-11-24 23:11:07

does any one keep north american darters when I move my rainbow darters(I've moved them times over the last 3 months for system upgrades and trades) one of them always dies from a broken neck it just almost pops the gills bloat and its dead nothing touches it and I move them very carefully do you supose I have a calcium problem?

Answers:

I doubt it, they usually get all they need from small shrimps and the like. Gill bloating would be a symptom of a circulatory problem if it happens that quickly. I would more likely suspect broken blood vessels.
