Looks like one of my favorite in the collection, my 14" Kelzul is passing away today...
Last night my big 17" (probably closer to 20") Broko went on a rampage (looks like spawning behavior to me) and apparently hit him pretty hard...
He had started to lose the ability to stay upright right before lights out but was still swimming and even ate a few pellets which calmed me down.
Then this morning he is full blown swimming in circles :/ unable to stay upright, breathing normal however....
moved him to the qt a few minutes ago to give him a rest....hoping if its just trauma that it might improve in a couple days....but in my experience a fish that cant stay upright is a dead fish :/
Sad Day
