Mr Fishy I am sorry, I think people forget that they all started somewhere and sometimes you can read, research, and self teach but experience and experiencing is a whole new ball game. I have been keeping fish since I was 13 years old I am now 37, I have had my own share of stupid things I did things I wished I did differently. So keep your head up and for every mistake you make learn from it. And I dont believe for one bit that all the people on this forum have not lost any fish at all I call B.S.

To say I havent lost fish would be a lie, YES. Matter of fact, my first peacock bass i owned I put in with a jack dempsey who bit him in half. Lesson learned, move the jack! But this is about the amount of fish in such a short time and the lack of attention he is paying. Heres the point right here ... ready for this Mr. Fishy and all the other people who again, have not followed NOR tried to help in any way. Months ago, this kid was killing peacock bass left and right (i still doubt all 7 are alive), and we were discussing his water and what was going on. His nitrates we're spiking like crazy and he couldnt figure it out. I told him, ask your mom what kind of water you use AS IM A FLORIDA RESIDENT MYSELF and know that much of our water is well water, and he ignored me not only in regards to finding out his water type at the time, but also investing in a different nitrate test as the strips he was using were notrious for incorrect reads. He continued to kill bass and so on. I told him the problem was most likely his water source, and look at it ... it is. Fishy you cant just dump the well water in and think you're okay since its coming straight out of a hole. The water is actually much more dirty! There is a reason why the outskirts of town use it, and not the more civilized areas.

And again, 2-3 months ago you said "ill have my new tank in 2-3 months", well you still dont, and you had 3 bass in one 20 gal tank.

Again, point being here he doesnt pay attention, talks about his "countless hours of research" yet it is not shown in his success rate with these fish. I have owned plenty of fish, for plenty of years, however I did not invest in peacock bass until i was confident in my fish keeping abilities, my equiptment, and my funds to support such a demanding fish.

Part of whats wrong with this whole topic is that people are being so nice and encouraging that you dont think it was anything you did wrong. Youve killed far too many of these things for it to have been a freak accident. If this was a solitary case it'd be "hey, tough luck, move on". This is a case of a young and not fully expierenced fish keeper, who clearly has lack of funds for such a fish.

Mr Fishy, keep on keeping on with fish, but god damn stop killing these bass.


Anyone who has, or has been around well water will know right away ... this water comes out with a yellow tint to it. Not only that, but most houses have built in "softners" for this water. This adds a ton of sodium to it, not to mention the amount of sulfur in the water. Sulfer is straight POISION. This WILL kill fish. Then take into account the amount of iron in florida well water. Then you have to think much of this water sits in these pipes collecting rust, and other checmicals in it. If you would have told me MONTHS ago about your well water I could have given you plenty of tips on how to handle it.


PS - provide a pic of all 7 in one frame, I'd love to see them all alive since they easily have to be 6 inches now, as I know mine are beyond that, and we purchased them at the same time.

And the water isn't yellow tinted or rusting at any point and the faucet has a filter on it but I still use RO water anyway

You should use half RO water and half regular water, the RO water is fairly devoid of minerals that your fish need, which is why you should add mineral bearing water to it, such as your well water.
mr fishy, I do not know your situation, and what exactly you are doing, but good luck keeping some great fish.
