markoshark Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 One of my 5 loaches died, as far as I can tell, no signs of injury or damage, all of them have been eating, so, any ideas of what he died of? Water seems fine, as he is the only fish i've had die. So, other options? Overfeeding? Possible? Whitespot? Doubtful as he is the only sick fish in the tank, all the other seem fine. Any other options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 There is no way to tell without dissection. I would not add any medications to a tank without confirming a diagnosis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me love fishy Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 could be that one was older, or just not a strong fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steves Killies Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 You would have seen whitespot on him if he/she had it,and it would of been very noticable in order to kill the fish. Over feeding,maybe,only you could tell that,but when do they ever stop eating?? Did the clown have (more than normal) red gills?if it did, I think i recall that it could be a sign of TB that loaches can carry. Not sure if or how to medicate for that.Ive lost clowns before that I suspect had TB symptoms. Best to remove any clowns that show signs and prevent any other fish from eating the dead fish in the tank if you found another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
