Botia kubotai (R.I.P)

[Gnuhen]

I got up today morning and i saw my kubotai was upside down, I dont even know what was the reason, I have 2 filters in a tank so there is no reason that it would die due to the water, i feed my kubotai frozen bloodworms... I m depressed..

Did you check your water parameters? What's the tank size and what fish are in it? Sorry to hear that.

 

[Gnuhen]

The tank size is 3 feet... hhmmm i have 4 juvenile gars, senegal n 2 clown knifefish.... (They are all small... hardly reaching 7") There was no any bite mark on my kubota...

 

[Gnuhen]

My big gars are in a different tank... what could be the reason??...

Check your water parameters please. I find it difficult to understand how your loach died if it happened all of a sudden. It is possible of course that your other fish harassed it constantly to death without leaving bite marks.

My gars do chase kubotai like crazy... do u think that it had something 2 do with the death??

I would imagine so. What type? False gar or real gar?

 

[Gnuhen]

False gar... Real Gar?????

The fish in your avatar is a true gar. Are you keeping loaches with those? True gars will devour a loach if they can catch one.

Yup... its a true Gar... my tank has many hiding spots... coz its like a jungle theme in my tank... due to that it survived until nw... bt nw... its ...
