Another stupid mistake
- Thread starter Miguel
- Start date
it is breathing but no improvement is made. when i set her loose up she floats with belly up. I think the beating affected her bladder or destroyed any other equilibrium related organ. I think I will end soon, no point in having the perch going on.
Nile Perch ( as all Perches ) are magnificent, imposing, monsters and yes they are being overfished for food ( as an example, it is the only FW fish we have as staple in our supermarkets, whereas you guys stateside have catfish, tilapias, you name it ). There will always be space in my tanks for a Nile Perch ( or any of the oher perches for that matter ).
Thank you all for the kind words.

Sorry i hope i dont sound disrepectful but this is why every single fish keeper the world over should have at his or her disposal a tank divider for exactly this situation. 
firstly it was me, myself and I, that started this thread calling my conduct a mistake. Secondly, the Perch was bigger than the Jar and showed absolutely no fear nor signs of intimidation, so I relaxed a little.
Thirdly i did not think a problem would occur during the night in pitch dark conditions.
The Perch died, one hour ago. I have just fed her to my big Mata Mata.
Thank you guys, for the kind words.

I am sorry Miguel.. i know it must be hard on you.. going through this.. when my pacu was in bad shape after the tank exploded i remenbered what you did for your arow and helped it stay upright in the tub .. i put a screen from a little window up against her, you use what ever you have handy.. of course they could not be saved.. i hope you get lucky with the perch.
