My Maldivian from DD just died on Saturday (Day 8 in QT.) He was eating up to the day before and seemed to be doing fine otherwise. Was really hoping he would work out.

Quality Marine
I have an Indian Ocean Regal from Q.M. I have an order in for small 2.5-3" Red Sea but keep being told that there are only 5-6" available. Most Indian Ocean are coming into my LFS (Aqua Studios in Millburn NJ) from Q.M. around 4'' size.

So the catchers either need to trick them to come out or use narcotics (usually cyanide).

I am not sure, I wish they would develop or use the existing test for it? What was strange was how many 2 1/2" to 4" Yellow belly non redsea regal's with the juvenile spot came on the market just recently

How would that work and would it be available to everyone? The conundrum is that the juveniles clearly adopt better to captivity, yet are largely caught with cyanide which may kill them later down the road. It seems this bad habit has by now also spread to the Maldives. The issue with cyanide is that it can kill a fish instantly, within a couple of weeks or after a couple of months, maybe even years later - it all depends on the dosage the fish got and if they did a detox afterwards or just shipped it off without.

I thought at one time there was an article about testing the water the fish came in with? I will see if I can find it.

Yeah, found that too, but it's not a practical test and the not that "exporting countries should export all of their fish in synthetic seawater as natural seawater can have detectable levels of thiocyanate in it leading to false positives with this testing protocol" basically makes it a useless test.

Thanks. Yeah, it was a bummer. No symptoms either. He looked good and was swimming and eating well with different food types. No meds in the tank, just a bare bottom QT (Cycled) with some rock, a heater, a couple powerheads, and a couple PVC tubes. Tested water parameters regularly and everything remained solid. |

I still have 5 out of 7 I bought there, and the first I lost was a super tiny one on which I skipped the formalin dip (I wouldn't do that ever again). So chances are not too bad. BTW, they just sold a tiny Philippine regal and still had a small juvenile last Saturday. Was that still around today?

Yes (the first in the video), but they had one that was even smaller (the second in the video):
I took this video when I was there a week ago.

That small one is gone. The way I see it if they don't survive a ttm they won't survive my tank. Got way too much money invested in fishes to have it bring diseases into my tank.
