Sad news to report, during the move the paddlefish died. I was so very careful moving him, I set up a 360 gallon vat with a large filter and he did well for a couple of weeks but he and all the fish in the vat with him died, I found him buried in the leaves at the bottom of the vat. I'm not sure but I suspect the leaves were poison somehow. It is an odd tree, plum or peach, might not have had anything to do with it. I am devastated, I had him for over two and a half years, he was a beautiful fish and had come to recognize me as a source of food coming to the top to get his pellets. I learned a lot from him, awesome fish RIP....

Sorry about your loss.:rip:shakehead
 
Man that sucks! Sorry to read that
 
I appreciate the condolences, I always take my fish very seriously, his loss was really my fault for not being better prepared when I moved. He was an awesome fish, watching him feed on live Daphnia was just awe inspiring, if i move to a permanent residence where I can set up a big tank I might try them again. Trying to move every few months with such a large active fish was a fools errand really...
 
sorry for your loss i remember this thread when it started, how big was he when he died if you dont mind me asking?
