I lost one of my GBA's this morning , i have no idea why as they have been settle for months now , water reading were normal and stable but what made it even worse was i did a little cut to see if there was anything inside her that looked like it might have killed her and all i found was EGGs :(

Sorry to hear about loosing the GBA.

I and a mate i sold some to have had the same thing, fish get to mid size, look happy and healthy and then die for no apparent reason, water is mint and all other occupants happy as larry.

I chalked it up as another mystery of fish keeping, i'm starting to think every tank has a "Bermuda Triangle" in it at some stage of its life in which unexpalinable things happen.

Bermuda triangle.... yeah, I think one of my tanks has that. Put in 4 fish and the next day there's only 3... put in 8 fish and a month later there's only 7 (even though I counted them just a few days ago). Do syno cats eat fish? Most fish in that tankare bottom feeders so any carcasses would last only a matter of minutes.... question is, why would they die in the first place?

Sorry for your loss, Paul!

Then I'm at a loss for what is getting the fish in that tank. Bu the way, the barbs under Yo-Yo laches eyes... can they scrape/slash otehr fish with them? I often see the yoyos "playing" with other fish which I was led to believe was actually checking for parasites, but upon inspection of some WCMMs I pulled from that tank to give to a new owner I found that the largest male had some odd "gashes" on one side of his body....

The only thing in with mine was more GBA's and again not a mark on it.

I have yo-yos and they are quite peacefull as are the striatas. It's the queens, angelicious and zodiac loaches that are the trouble makers.

I have a sneaking suspicion a zodiac is responsible for 1 dead swordtail and 1 one eyed swordtail.
