How long were they out of the water DP??
More than a minute( 60 seconds) and I found they're in trouble

probably about a minute, hard to tell, they did not like being netted and thrashed a fair bit

lost one more too

Trout are very sensitive and don't respond well out of the water even for short periods of time. In my experience at this time of the year they are at the end of their parameters. Getting to the extreme of their comfort zone, look for changes in their behaviour. If they are at their end of their limits you may have pushed them over the edge. Keep a note of your water temperatures and keep their air supply well up, perhaps prepare to cut their feed which in turn maintains there water quality.
Be gentle with them and prepare them for the end.

lost alol of mine thismorning too ( well , last night after 12 some time )

i will prepare the remainder for the bbq

Bugger!
Clove oil burn maybe?

these are the trout at maturaty from april delivery that died.

all my silver perch are fine and eating well. The silvers get about 3 tablespoons of mini pelets and 2 broccoli leaves a day and eat it all. They are struggling with the 4mm trout pellets, but will prolly be on them in a few weeks.

The clove oil wore off insantly when Boris01 and i put them in clove oil free water. Some do have scrapes on the back of their heads but are not dying lke OBO's

Mine have stopped dieing

Only coz there is none left

Mine are all good, and Boris has some spare ones, we might be able to sort u out something

Oh yeh, a few spares still???

Heh, dont worry about me - I'll just get some more in December when they are hatched.

The loss of my fish is just a learning curve All future fish transport will either be bagged, or in a tank *awake* with O2 from an oxy bottle.

How are the silver perch now Duckpond ?
.....

Do I have to tell them , or are you going to do it Duckie ?
