Bartlett´s Anthias Drama

Hi folks,
a close friend took down his 10 year old tank, and as a present he gave me his Bartlett´s anthias. I was pretty excited because I fell in love with them.
Now to the sad part, :mad: nearly all of them died in the last few weeks.
To be honest, maybe all of us have seen anthias die pretty quickly when one starts with heavy breathing, but the fact what I don´t understand is, that all of my other anthias are doing fine .

-Tukas
-Blotchy
-Flavoguttatus
-Parvirostris
all of them are doing great. Not a single fish showed those symphtoms that the Bartlett´s were showing.

He feeds his fish a different brand. ( Comes from a german company )
I feed mine food from Ocean Nutrition.
All of them were eating flakes and pellets.
Could it maybe be the fact that the food changed that sudden ?

The loss of the fish really bothers me because I´m doing pretty good with Anthias.

Did you quarantine the new anthias? When someone gives you fish, you get any parasites/diseases too. Changing food isn't going to kill fish.
