Arrrrrrrrrrgh! I just came home from work today and I found my 10"BKG is floating around...........DEAD!!! Wtf?! How can it be?!? What went wrong? He was peaceful either before, eating everything I gave him, why why why!??! Could it be something to do with my canister? I just bought a new canister today, installed it and stuff, he seemed to be doing fine then, why did he die? My 5" tandanus catfish is dead too, but I love my BKG more! That was my favourite fish! His 3 other surviing tankmates: an oscar, a common pleco and a gibbi seem to be doing fine.
Here is what I did today with the tank: got home proudly wiht my new canister, washed all the elements etc, and installed it. It's 1500L/hr in a 2'x1x1.5', and I did about 50% water change because the water before was just TOO dirty, and then I let the filter run and do its thing! Now, 12 hrs later, my BKG is dead! Could he be stressed from the sudden 500L/h pump change to 1500L/h? I didn't have a good hiding spot for him, he was just always other some dfrit wood. Argh whhhhhhy? I was hoping he will reach at least 14 inchs!
My hope now lies in my other 8" BKG, pray to god that he grows big and amke me proud. sigh.
