    I'd only be guessing, but maybe a bacterial infection from overfeeding if it's small. As to what to do about the dealer, a phone call to consumer affairs or the nsw equivilant could point you in the right direction.

    discus,

    can cope with that,but the butterfly dying in 2days no signs of any illness,$700 is a lot 2 throw away,a little ole fashion courtesy goes along way

    kyren2005, I am fully aware that this was sorted out, and you are just trying to cause trouble. If you continue to do so you will not be welcome here.

    There are 2 sides to everything, and it is funny how one minute the world owes you everything, then everything is fine, matter sorted out, then you start the daily posts trying to name and shame a 3rd party, who from what I know has done nothing wrong
