death

came home from the holiday weekend to find my fahaka puffer belly-up. i know, it's part of the hobby, but sucks nonetheless. :( strange thing is that of all of my fish he seemed to be thriving the best; when i got him in early february he was a little bit bigger than a pea, and had gotten to be...

In the last few weeks I lost 3 fish by wierd self inflicted deaths. It started when I added a piece of wood to one of my 75's for my pleco. About a week after I woke up one morning to see a fish had somehow gotten his head lodged in a large crack/ gap in the driftwood. It looked as if he stuck...

I've had some mysterious fish loss over the last week. In my 75g mbuna tank. I came home from work on Thursday and found my 3 year old female Auratus floating. The next day, a female hybrid mbuna was at bottom of tank barely breathing. Moved to quarantine and she died within an hour. I just now...

I now lost my beautiful blue zebra female angel I got from Sam 6 months ago. She was dead randomly when I came home one day with small red scabby marks near her head. She showed no such marks the day before. I don't know if parasites erupted from her head or if she bashed herself against the...

I rarely have deaths, but my long-established planted 58 gallon new world tank has now racked up two in the past three days. I'd been away for a week, so I'm not sure when the first death occured. The little girl apisto did not come out to feed when I got home on Saturday. Later that day I found...

I'm bummed. I have had 3 batches of Cyprichromis fry within the past 2 weeks. Out of 21 total fry I have 5 left. I used to never have problems with these guys, hardly EVER a death. They always seemed hardy. I don't know what I am doing differently, except I started feeding Golden Pearls and...

I lost both of my silver angels this week. I've raised both from nickel size to adults and had them for four years. They both showed the same symptoms: what looked like a crack in their face formed above their left eye and spead through the gill plate. The "crack" formed and opened over the...
