Rummynosed Tetras

[150EH]

I know Rummy's are famous for dropping dead when coming in as wild caught and have problems adjusting to new water. I went up to HOT and bought 5 Rummy's to add to a school of 31, maybe I should have bought 10 or more to make them feel more at ease but after I put them in the tank one died for the the next 2 morning, so I call HOT to let them know and they didn't really care, now it's 12 days later and another one just drop dead. I never loose fish, not Rummy's, Oto's, or any other easy to kill species and when I purchased them they had nice color but take a look at this guy after 24 hours in my tank, btw he lived or could have been todays casualty.

Rachel often has one of the "rummynose" variants. She cares...

I'm just bidding my time waiting for some old timers to pass so I can up my RNT school to 60 or 70, so I don't want to switch up mid stream but needless to say she does and it shows when you receive her stock.

I bought some rummynoses from HOT and they are extremely healthy, didn't lose a single one. Maybe you got a bad batch? I drip acclimated mine
