Oh, thats very sad! And frustrating too, I wonder if the mysis company would be willing to test the food and see?
I am sorry for your loss

BC29 is at 80.2
Shallow 30 is at 78.5

Read with two different thermometers for accuracy.

Just bewildered at this point

It really sounds like the food. Man, that really sucks. Are you gonna "test" the food some how?

Terrible news!
You may be on the right track with the bad Mysis assumption. I've read about several cases of Vibrio poisoning from Mysis. Apparently, the vibrio is in the frozen Mysis water and it is very important to thaw and rinse well before feeding. Mrfish55 thinks he had the same thing happen.

The Mysis is the only thing that I can think of. Thats the only thing that was introduced into the two tanks the night before. Brand new package, no previous signs of disease or stress from fish, water perams are perfect, and killed all fish and nothing else.

How would I go about testing? Not that I really need too, because the worst has already happened, but it would be nice to find out.

I will from now on thaw and wash all mysis before feeding thats for sure. I used to just let it get mooshy then drop it in.
