Dead endlichiri

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Sounds like these can just be 1 of those mystery deaths that we'll never discover. Sorry you've been having bad luck. Maybe the 2 were already carrying something that you just couldn't see

+1 If you did everything correctly as it seems you did, then it seems that their deaths were not preventable. Meaning whatever killed them, came from a different point of origin...since you are positive your parameters were perfect. I would investigate the LFS or source of these bichers.
 
Does he/she have any lesions or what so ever on his body? If not, have you tried opening him up to see if there is any internal damage? A couple of weeks ago my 8" Retropinnis suddenly died so i decided to cut him open, I found out that his gall bladder had sort of ruptured and his bile is all over his internal organs all ready sipping through his tissues and what not.
 
Neither one of them ha red on them and neither one had any marks/signs of being bullied or harassed .... I'm guessing they had a disease of some kind when I bought them ..... I just hope the one I just got doesnt die the same way

Are you getting them all from the same store/person? Can you get one that is not from the same source as the 2 that died? If it also dies, then you open up the possibility that perhaps it is not the fish, but rather something in your set-up.

Are you acclimating properly...I wonder if you could get the water parameters from the person who sold them. Maybe something is different enough between yours and his that is causing this. Tough one...good luck.
