Alright. We lost the regal

But here is the interesting part. With a little help from Alberta and the gang from Golds we might have figured it out. When we pulled the regal out he pretty much looked like he was bleeding from the inside out. Lateral line was literally through the skin on both sides and he had sores on him where the blood spots where.
So after Albert coming to the rescue this is what he came up with.
Vibrio
Sounds like pretty much what happened. Didn't matter how we treated them they all died anyways. Apparently we brought it in with some new frozen food that can get infected after packaging. As the water was and is perfect although the mag and alk are a little low.
Scarey thing is we can catch it and we have had our hands in the tank

So the plan is let the U.V run on the tank and leave it fishless for a long long time. I don't think i can watch helplessly as more fish die.
I do still have the flagfin but he is not looking so swift hot this morning so we will see.
Thanks to everyone for the support though it was nice to come and vent somwehere where people understand how attached we get to out little water friends
