Woke up this morning to find my poly. lap. dead at the bottom of the tank. Raised him from 5inches to 10inches. And i paid $15 for him too. Had him for 2.5 years. Anyway, here are some pics.

sorry, what happened?
 
I'm sorry to hear this. He seems to have been a bit thin. Maybe something internal?
 
Not too sure....He gets fed daily with frozen krill,silversides, and carnivore pellets and other stuff but not live foods. I feed them well (the other bichirs and fish in the tank). I fed him last night was eating well. At any rate hope the other guys will do fine.
 
what did you have him in there with??? they look like little barracudas and piranhas
 
Sorry about the loss. Looks like water is a bit cloudy too though. On a side note, where did you find a small lapradei in ny?
 
That's too bad, he looked like a nice lap. Had you changed up anything lately? New additions, food, chemicals, anything? How are the rest of the fish?

The lap was in there with 7 silver dollars, poly palamas polli, delhezi, senegalus, asian uside down catfish, sun spot catfish, african knife fish,5 freshwater barracudas, spotted raphael catfish, wood catfish and 3 angelic catfish

I do regular water changes about 1-2x/ week. The coudy pic was cause of the bad camera skills. The water was clear in the AM.
The other fish are doing fine. Eating well!

Druu: I usually go to petLnd in green acres mall in LI, for some reason they always seem to get laps there. no more that $17-20. Depending on the size too and if they get them in. Fish town usa has delhezi and polli usually but not often and they are usually less than $20 from what i've seen but they go fast.

Thanks kno4te, I live in the city and have not seen them around. Just the usual senegalus in Petsmart. I will be sure to check the next time I'm on Long Island!
