Conaquavict Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 In the space of 24hrs I have lost my largest BP, my spawning FM BP, and a male firemouth cichlid. The thing that bugs me, is i can't think of a reason why my fish have died..... They were all in a 100g (imp) with 3 other BP'S a red severum, and a school of corydoras, and up untill 24hrs ago were doing just fine, My water test readings are fine i'm a bit of a fanatic for WC's, i never fed them anything different in the last few weeks and they were showing no signs of stress, The big BP died last night, the female BP this morning and the firemouth this afternoon, BTW.. all the other fish look fine. The only thing different that has been going on around the house, is a bit of work that i have been getting done, and although there has been a lot of noise from saws, kango's ect. I Don't think it would have caused my fish to die, although i may be wrong of course, i just wish i could pinpoint the cause of these fish deaths. BTW.. I haven't had a fish die on me for a couple of years, now I have had 3 in 24hrs. Here's a pic of my 2 BP'S, in better times. The male. The female. Guarding their eggs.

David R Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Losing fish is never cool, and its worse when there's no obvious reason for it. Sorry for the OT, but whats the fish in your avatar?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachy Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 what do you feed them, do they all eat the same food, i know you said that you have been feeding them the same food for the past few weeks, i know a guy who bought some blood worms, fed them to his fish and the next day they were all dead, he reackons that the blood worms had been thawed out then re-frozen and sold, food poisoning, cause his water was fine as well. I dont know, just an idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis & Vicki Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 When was your last waterchange, did your water come from the town supply, if works were done on waterpipes chlorine tablets would have been put in the lines, is that a possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the OT, but whats the fish in your avatar?? The fish in my avatar is a Buttikoferi cichlid. Thanks for the thoughts guys, and you know that when i think of it i did feed the fish some live bloodworms about a week ago and i normally wouldn't feed these.
