I just lost a stunner :(

[TimTheBadass]

All I did was net a 6" orino and put him in a bucket of his own tank water and this happens

No idea how he went into shock like that. All I know is I'm seriously p*ed off and I've just lost a fish I'll probably never be able to replace.

Here's how he looked before. He's the blue one with the nice cheek markings.

Same thing happened to me when I had a LARGE group of 3-5" Orinos a while back. I was moving them and caught one... he opened his mouth and sank to the bottom

Sorry to hear that boss... time to replace him a.s.a.p

I won't be able to because I live in the UK. Cichla like this rarely come along. However when they do I snatch them up quick

Thanks, I should count myself lucky. At least I still have my rio meta's. As long as nothing happens to my kelberi I'll be fine.
