this it the first time I've heard of fish being bathed!

Maybe the water was too hot? You have to check the temperature with your elbow...

boiled tuna anyone?

I believe they go into a smaller tank to be treated, rather than treating a whole big tank.

Must have forgot to turn the air on or something....or overdosed them.

The fact they mention treatment for parasites... I suspect they were being "salt bathed"...

And some either got the salt concentration wrong... and/or forgot to monitor them...

Perhaps as OBO says... they forgot to oxygenate properly... or turn it on...

Do you treat saltwater fish with salt? Dunno.

Unfortunately, the article indicates the company is on a downhill spiral.

Found the bathing answer, hydrogen peroxide. It works on catfish eggs.

Duhh... should have twigged to that when it said "tuna".... :oops:

Yep, stuffed up their aeration... all four times by the sounds of it...

Hydrogen Peroxide is a "mega" oxidising compound... sucks the DO like a sponge sucks water...
