    Members of the cyprinid family are more fatty, oily fish, including carp, goldfish, minnows, etc.
    Surprisingly, danios and white clouds are in this family.

    Try injecting the mice with a little bit of the Doc Roy's Vitamin B complex. You can get it at Revival Animal Health

    That was what I tried to feed to my girl after she started seizing, but I figure I was too little too late.

    OK... with your encouragement, I have changed the options on my video. You can now rate it, and you can embed it.

    You can also leave comments, but I have to approve them before they are public.

    Cyprinid fish are indeed the worst sources of thiaminase. I used to feed certain species to my snakes, but I stopped the second I read that fish belonging to this family were loaded with the enzyme.
