Largest NTT in big trouble, any ideas?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
BUMMER! sad, add more filtration if your second guessing it. It wont hurt. Maybe switch from NTT, they do die spontaneously when large sometimes out of the blue. Maybe try ST, NGT??

Sad to hear about ur RTG too.. Id die!
 
The filtration is just extra. I have a 70gal sump on a 200 gal tank cycling about 7 times an hour.
I know NTTs are supposed to be fragile, but that's when they're young. Didn't know about big like that one. I had it for 3 years.
The RTG died of shock when we moved house. It freaked out when the removal guys came and shifted all the furniture. It start losing slim coat and panting then 5 hours later it was dead!! Like i say if i'm guessing i think it ate a stone, or a bit of fish bone got stuck and damaged its guts. It couldn't swim and its belly was floating up, so it was probably full of gas. Not nice for the last 30 minutes. It was going mental, jumping out the water and swimming erratically upside down.
 
It's hard to believe it's a bone fragment that caused this. I mean these fishes do eat entire live fishes and full grown crawfish
 
Sorry for your loss! Be careful with pellets though, it's easy to over feed and with pellets expanding after intake it could rupture the belly.
 
Sorry buddy. Not a nice experience. I prob would have done the same.
 
sorry to hear it didnt make it read the post last night but i didnt have an answer for you. sorry nobody could help you.
 
sorry for your loss ....It seems to be the story with NTTs (sudden death syndrome). Alot of Dat keepers gave up on them for that reason.
