While I commend everyone here for encouraging you to keep going, and giving you words of praise, I have a slight opposite feeling.

This wasnt a "cruel joke by god", and yes these things DO happen. But what this is, is a young, not completely educated fish keeper here who I personally do not feel is caring for these bass appropriately. Mr. Fishy, I have been trying to help you for MONTHS with these fish, you have gone through many pbass in a very very short time. I personally think you should give your guys up, and move on to a less demanding fish until you A) have the knowledge required for pbass, and B) have the appropriate setup for them. It is very disheartening coming back on here and reading that you still have these 3 bass in a 20 gallon tank! MONTHS after you purchased them! Unless the ones you bought around the same time I bought my 2 small guys, have died (which would again be a problem), these guys would be 6 inches EASILY and in no way shape or form should be kept in a 20 gallon tank. The fact that you said "you dont NEED dechlorinator but you use it" is enough to say you havent done your reading. Our water here in florida has a TON of chlorine in it! This is a MUST at all times! Your tank is probably cycling due to the amount of waste these fish are producing in such a small enviroment! Please mr fishy, STOP with the pbass until this "200 gallon tank" is BUILT and ready, meaning you have at the bare minimum 10x the filtration and a month or 2 of cycling with no fish in it!

Give them up, or stop buying so many! My 2 are growing at a great rate, pushing 2-2.5 inches a month EASILY right now, and Im slowing their feeding down to reduce the amount of rapid growth.

I have put on my flame suit, but if anyone has been following his posts as I have he does not need pbass right now.

If you hadn't noticed I got a bigger tank for the first bass I have and these r little 1" bass so that's seems reasonable for them at this size and you obviously hadn't read my other threads but HATERS GONNA HATE

Mr fishy I have followed your threads for months, have always been on your side, but enough is enough. Why do you have 3 more 1 inch peacock bass? What happened to the three you purchased 3 months ago man!? I can only assume they have died, or your total amount of bass is now upwards of 10.

I would NEVER discourage anyone from quitting the hobby! All I am saying is these fish are not for novice fish keepers, and require ample amount of attention and care to detail. I'm suggesting you switch to a less demanding fish while you complete your set up and acquire the adequate systems to care for such a fish.

Every action has a reaction, however in this situation the reaction of the fish dying is a direct result of some type of action you are either taking or NOT taking! Yes, sometimes things may just die, this could be a result to a birth defect unbeknownst to you due to it being internal, something completely accidental such as swallowing substrate and not passing it, however your unsuccessful turn over rate of these poor fish point to negligence ! Please man, hear what im saying and do yourself AND THESE FISH a favor, don't buy anymore.... For a good amount of time man.

And not saying he ate something and couldn't pass it but I have sand so it couldn't be substrate I uNderstand now what you were getting at and I'm sorry if I came off as mean and I will not be getting anymore bass soon unless my aunt can get some bass from Venezuela but I highly doubt that

Your a funny kid! Take your time and test your well water. Cycle with cheap ass fish. Dont buy Cichla that actually measure 1", that fish could be 3 weeks from hatch. Buy Cichla that are 2 to 3" ?? Goodluck! Gary
