From my post I put all my tank para. by all the nil values it is obvious that I am not new to the hobbie.
I was generally upset when I wrote the post and I wanted to understand what if anything I had done wrong.
I realise that its just a fish and not in most peoples books worthy of proper care or love but I assumed that everyone on the fnzas site was
or had experts in their ranks that could say.
Hey... could be blah blah - Not that it could have been lonely which was not the case as he was not a shy fish as per original post or stressed -
and that I should have researched and a lesson learned.
I was after your valuable opinion... if say I had 0.50ppm ammonia or say 10ppm of nitrate you could have said hey newbie your water para. are crap thats why it died. Then the Research would have been a good call.
But when I was doing everything everything by the research that I had done and I get that when I was already feeling terrible for killing something that was in my care and had grown to trust me I felt like crap.
I dont post here often but I did remember seeing someones post about an elephant fish and I thought hey someone else has had one maybe they can help me understand.
But I have to go now and see the pet shop owner that I purchased the elephant nose off and advise them that I may have been the cause of death - I dont want to have someone replace something at their cost if I was the reason it died.
Thankyou all again for your time and I do recommend an elephant nose for anyone that has the time to care for them and interact - coz they are merry little buggers
