Help! My parrot fish is dying

[sally755]

I brought 8 pcs of parrot fish more than a month ago. Since last last week, I noticed that they are losing appetite. Slowly one by one they are dying, now only left 3.

This is my first time with parrot fish, I am at lost, but I still do not want to give up. Since there is not much info on the weds on the topic of caring of parrot fish, can someone here guide me?

Yes, I notice there are some live worms swimming around, but I read in the guppy forum that said these are good, should not worry.

Since I notice that they are not as active as usual, I change 1/2 the water every 2 days.

I feed them with fish pallet from Hai Feng, recommended by the fish shop, which will enhance the colour.

The last 3 still survive after I added in some anti-white spot med (blue colour). I wonder if they are really ok now or not? Can I add some new parrot fish?

My aquarium is 3', how many parrot fish can I have? Anyone can recommend where can I get parrot fish at cheap price at KL or Selangor. I got mine at $9 for each love shape parrot fish (no tail one)
