thats alot of perches!!!
what happened to the barra?

edit:carry on posting pics!

Was transfering one of them into a bigger tank. Neted fine and easy into cooler but went belly up instantly. His equillibrium got thrown off. Kept him in a seperate tank and hand force fed him for 3 months before kicking the bucket

Second one got killed by the 17-18" watermelon pleco he was with.
 
Dont know what happened, didnt bang anything and I used a large koi net. Lifted out smooth and into cooler. Less than 5 seconds and was upside down. This happened twice to me already. I love lates but might throw in the towel.
The one that got killed by the pleco was weird. I knew the pleco was super agro because he will ram my hand when I clean the tank but didnt think the lates would stay still on the bottom. He was always on the top and mid level of the tank.

ah i see.
ive heard of alot of people losing them through moving.
but ive personally never had any problem before.
i even dumped 3 barras into a tank with completely different params when my main tank broke.
