firenzenz Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Well woke up to my 140mm blue Hap Dead. A lovely 2 yr old male. Water test OK, all tankmates all OK. His body in perfect order on exterior, no signs of illness, body not even bloated yet, so bit of a mystery. Shock or stress is my guess. Was going to list on TM some young 6cm males from him but will now hold on to them. Bugger -This was a great looking fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firenzenz Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 I'm thinking it could be a change in tank dynamics. Tank is 560ltr and he's been in since day one. Other fish growing up around him have possibly pushed him down the ranks... who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herefishiefishie Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Always horrible to lose a prized fish. If it is just one fish, chances are it could be just an internal problem. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Nice fish. Sorry for the loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Yeah must admit took me by surprise, he was established as in that tank and looked premo to look at. Diet was same as ever -novorift, spirilina chips, and occasional frozen mysis or live fish. Oh well up to bluey jnr to carry the flag.
