RE: walkeri

I agree.  Strongly suspect velvet.
I have had this happen to me a number of times when hatching  N. guentheri.
Hundreds of fry hatch out in a shoe box or tank and all dead with in 3-4
days.  I don't recall if I used salt in the fry hatching containers back
then.
What would a good method be for ensuring fry survival upon first hatching?
Thanks,
mike
