Yea, you can see from how healthy they look and how they are eating that they are suffering very badly !!!

I used half fresh RO and half existing water from a 7ft tank being shut down...

I have had marines for 8 years , so they will be ok ....

Dont panic !!!

Like I said, I had marines for 8 yrs previous .....

Im sure if anything (touch wood) was going to go wrong it would have by now , for heck sake (could have been stronger) you can bring a fish home from the shop , float the bag , 30 mins , put water from the tank into the bag , then put fish in water and it will still die !

These I brought home in a plastic water butt, (a leaky one) with a bin liner to keep it waterproof ....

They are still alive 3 - 4 weeks now , eating like its going out of fashion , my 850 is skimming like a gooden !!!!

Dont be fooled people !!!

Marines is not a hard species to keep !!
