I was the one that suggested that maybe the fish were killed by some other
contaminate, like soap. In the same message, I said that I had personally
killed a fish by accidently overdosing CO2 from a yeast bottle. I don't know
the exact mechanism of the fish's demise, but I gave first hand anecdotal
evidence that it is possible. But the symptoms described by whoever asked
the original question more closely matched another accident I had with a bit
of detergent.
I think suggesting alternative causes that might be overlooked is a lot more
useful than engaging in highly technical intellectual theorizing (and I'm an
engineer, so I have an appreciation for detailed technical information, even
if I only partially understand it.)
So, I'm not sure what you are upset about???
