So I have 10 fry that I got from AL about 2.5 months ago. They ate very well in the beginning, but there were a few that where bigger and stronger and ate way more. A few that ate ok, but just less and they were not growing as fast. No big deal I thought, they still looked good, just growing less.
About a month ago, my wife forced me to go on vacation for 4 days. I left them with an auto feeder feeding 4 times a day, in small amounts, in total about half what I normally feed. I had a friend come over and do a daily WC. Well I think one of the water changes got skipped, and I'm not sure what else he may have screwed up. When I got back they all looked a little off but not that bad. I gave them a 50% wc and then did at least 90% per day for a few days. I resumed my regular routine after that (one to two quick vacuums per day and and least a 50 - 100% wc per day. Most of them bounced back well and seem 100%. The few fish that were originally smaller have not bounced back though. They are not very active, look darker, have slightly clamped fins, they occasionally shake, and they do not eat, and they have some stringy mucus, pale colored poo. They other fish have normal black looking poo. 3 of the ten are like this and have been for the last month. I was hoping lots of clean water and they would come back, but they just haven't. I've thought about culling them and just keeping the good 7, or setting up a hospital tank for the 3. What would you do? At this point the weak 3 are about half the size of the others.
