Kimmee, it is very difficult, and I have not come to any decision at this point. My plan was to trade or sell the fry, mainly as a means to get more carpintis and develop a breeding program. At this point that does not seem likely, so I am not sure how to proceed. Thank you for your concern.

If you keep them you will have many tanks of fish that eat and cost but can never be distributed . And fry would also be unclean so a dead end there. A hard choice but the fry need to be eliminated if you cannot guarantee a healthy outcome. I would not even use them as feeders as the eater would be exposed. The problem gets harder as time passes and they grow. I would cull them at once. Sorry.
I pretty much knew this to be true, but just needed some one else to affirm it. Would you include the previous batch which have been isolated from the parents long before the problem manifested? I am guessing clove oil is the best way to do the deed, but have never euthanized any fish much less a 100.
