Anyone else have a particular fish they can't keep?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ughh, I lost another trimac. I don't know what it is with these fish. He had been hiding behind one of the returns for about a week but then he started coming out pretty often and would interact with the other fish some. As of yesterday he just disappeared though. I'm guessing that he was killed and then became a meal but there really is no way for me to know for sure. It does suck though.

Not sure if I will try another one or not.
 
Otocinclus, finally got one kept alive for about 8 months, until stupid me put a Crayfish in the same tank...

Woohoo, the trimac came back from the dead and he is healthier than ever. I'm not sure if that makes him a zombie fish or not. :nilly:
 
Bettas for me, I used to have a bunch of expensive ones and they always seemed to die on me. Haits don't seem to like me too much either?
 
Lowcel-when you change your water does your Trimac go to the top or bottom of the tank and breathe hard-even lays on its side-every Trimac I have had does that when I change the water (and yes I use stress coat and other cond.) Have never had one die but they always give me a scare when I change the water-wierd?
