yes i did put the ones back into the tank.
Except for one, I noticed that his tail had been broken, so I put it out of its misery.
I felt really stupid about the whole thing.
I had tried really hard to make sure that they were dead. But I felt I also just couldn't leave a bunch of bodies in the tank as I was afraid of spiking the ammonia levels because of the decomposing bodies.
IMO, if they were just lying on the ground they probably weren't doing that well in the first place and probably weren't going to make it anyways.
thanks for the support. I am really happy with the results so far.
From what I have read online, I am doing better then the vast majority of people already..so yea..I must be doing something right.
