Stella Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 My inanga died last night in peculiar circumstances and I am interested to know if anyone can shed some light on it. He had looked a little pale (literally) over the previous two days. Then in the afternoon he seemed a bit wobbly and more pale. His eyes seemed a little bulgy but as always you can never remember quite what 'normal' is when 'abnormal' presents itself. He was loitering near the surface and getting less stable. That evening his balance was way off and I noticed his fins seemed to be paralysed. Never clamped shut, they were naturally erect but were unable to move. The fish was waving its head about as if something was irritating or hurting it. Its gills were sticking out and breathing was sporadic, never gulping or fast. In half an hour of these symptoms the fish died. No external signs of disease whatsoever. Any clues? The other fish are happy as larry. I have no concerns about them. Oh, the coolest thing.... I looked closely at it when I removed it from the tank, poked it a bit.... FISH HAVE TONGUES!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
