:cry::cry::cry:

Pretty upset cause I don't normally lose alot of fish, but the past month.. oh man I have lost way too many fish this month. Starting to feel really discouraged especially cause the Kelberi's are no where to be found AGAIN.

Anyways I picked up 4 and now I am down to my last one. The first one died.. probably 2 weeks ago, I noticed a lil white spot on his body not like ick but some white blotch.. like a scratch (thats what i thought it was) but the size of a 1mm circle. I thought nothing of it but the next morning he was dead.

Last week I woke up and another one was dead, no battle scars, marks or anything. Just dead.. so I thought it might be my lei chasing it around and maybe it bumped his head too hard. Everytime I look at the tank the Lei is always chasing the bass but never gets em.

After that I move the last 2 and this afternoon I noticed the same white blotch that was on my pbass. It was on the body and the end of the tail. I had a bad feeling about that so when I got home 4 hours later I found him dead. :cry::cry:

Horrible month for me.. its even worse cause I don't know what it is! Does anyone have any idea what it could be? I know it will be hard without a picture but I've already tossed him. :(

Maybe cichla is just not meant for me..

Sorry for your loss Chung :(


ahhh thanks guys.. Just hope my last one survives.. otherwise I might just have to go a different route.

But you are right R1, this is part of the hobby. Probably the worst part of the hobby at that!

damn that sucks bro. remember when we did that group buy from rapps well one of the VZ orino had the same symptoms. white blotch near the tail and just started breathing heavily then died the next morning. I'M thinking internal parasites.

I can't really tell but imagine your pbass scratches itself on a piece of wood. It looked like that but in a circular shape. It was odd, never seen it before. It is a possibility that is the reason why they died but maybe not..

I have nothing else to blame other than that. I notice those blotches and then a few hours later they die. :irked:

Seriously?! Dang! Maybe I should really start a QT tank, but the wierd thing is that it happened like 2-3 months later!
