RE: dying cardinals`



When we ge them in from Florida we sit on them for a week (Conway Tropical Fish), because your right a good amount can die at times. Try asking your lfs how long they have had the batch. - Aaron Frymire

What cardinals go through to get from South America to your fishtank is horrendous. They are roughly handled and are subject to crowded shipping and crazy temperature fluctuations.

With that being said, I find cardinals to be one of the hardiest aquarium fishes. When they are received by the store, and immediate tetrid dosage must be administered. I find that they need to be at the store for about a week. After the week, the weakest ones will die off. The other important thing is they should be in a planted tank with cover at the store and where they go.
If these things are done, they are often extremely hardy!
