Oi!

Do you have Fiji or Bali rock with lots of lovely nooks and cranies?

You might have a cone snail, that shoots nasty darts. That would account for dead fish that show no other signs of disease.

Your lawnmower and YOU might have been very lucky if this is the case. Do you have any snails that you don't remember buying? You might want to look at night when things are quiet and see if there is a cone snail wandering around. REMEMBER THE DARTS CAN KILL HUMANS TOO!!!!!!! If you see a snail that you didn't buy get it out of there with a pair of tweesers or net or something, this could be the problem.

I'm still of the opinion that if other fish from the store are still alive in other peoples tanks, no matter how they were caught then that isn't the problem, a cone snail unless you DON'T have one fits just fine as the reason why the fish are dying.

Cheers!
