Monsters to be, wiped out

infoate · 19-08-2014, 06:44 PM

Woke up and found my fishes dead

Kept the ATFs for 3-4 years from 3.5-5 inches.

EBHs for 2-3 years from 3 inches.

Fire Eel from a short wire to a baseball bat.

Build a new tank for them and is currently under cycle, sad that they can't live in it

Left 2 fei fengs in the tank.

Hi bro, it was my mistake. I suspect they were starved of oxygen. They were in a 422 holding FGT for 2 months, very healthy. With 2 canisters. Before this they were housed in a 4x1.5x1.5 tank with the same 2 canisters. Usually I did not fill the water above the pipe outlets as to let the jet of water hit hard on the water surface to create disturbance for oxygenation. But last evening, did my usual WC but filled it above the outlets. That being said, I realised that there wasn't enough disturbance on the water surface, therefore, I added an air disc. But due to the nature of these fishes they dislodged the air tube from the air disc and I only found out this morning

. After the WC they were still eating like beasts.

Sorry to hear that. This also happened to me before. I accidentally turned off my air pump for my tropheus tank. The next morning only, all 20pcs gone.

They lived a good life and it was just a freak accident which no one wanted.
