kennesaw, ga
i was having a great day so far. i just came home and found 2 of my 3 H. notatus from rapps dead :mad: i have no idea what could have happened. they've all be eating like pigs, 3meals a day. i changed their water this morning. i thought that maybe it was something in the water but i changed my other tanks water right before it, also 2 of them died and 1 is still ok. i was hoping for a pair out of the three of them, i guess i'll have to hope for other people to thin their notatus :irked::irked::irked::irked::irked::irked::irked::irked:
 
Ouch. I know they are supposed to be brutal with each other compared to other sevs, but yours are still rather tiny so I wouldn't expected that just yet. Any clues on the two that passed? I know what I am irked about dead cichlids, I sometimes don't look as hard as I should. Natural reaction, but not always the smartest I know.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! damm I have the other 4 from Rapps... Im sorry for your loss.... I had 5 from rapps.. only 1 died the other four are going strong BUT last week.. I had to take one out of the 29 gallon they were in because he is the runt and he was really hurt.. man I said this guy is a goner.. so I just for the heck of it through him in my 150 with the monster sev's I have and believe it or not he is healed and living large with the big guys... he is like an inch.. and thriving.. but yes I find that they are aggresive towards each other...
 
Any chance you forgot to put declorinator in that tank. I have done that before and lost like 75% of fish. Any way I am sorry for your loss.
 
Awe, that sucks Sean. It almost certainly had something to do with the water change. Your other tanks and fish are larger and could handle whatever it was a lot easier.

Don't worry, several of us around here bought small groups and if things go well we will all be thinning them out in a few months.
