FISH STARVATION

Recommended Posts

I had a Arc eye hawkfish in my tank for a while -he was quite a lively chap and always first to the food . I added a frag of Xenia and when i put it in the water a small piece must have come loose and drifted in the current. The hawk did his ussual pounce and swallowed the piece in one go. As soon as he did he made about 3 mid air flips and nearly jumped out of the tank. He was never the same after that and from then he never had food again. He hid and never perched on his fins. This morning i came out and saw all was not well -he was thin as and i knew it was over. Later i found him dead -36 days without food. I know long time without food is not rare and i wonder if this has happened to someone else
