My heart is broken:cry:.

Not sure what happened. Water is ok. Temp is 82.
Tankmates: female dalmation molly, female sunset platy, two albino cories, siamese flying fox.

Anyone had this happen?

I'm so bummed. I think plans for the Ornate are off too. I'm just done for awhile.
 
Sorry for your loss. =( Unfortunately these things happen. Hope you feel better.
 
Hello,

do you have any imagination why the delhezi died?

Any changes in behaviour before he died?
Any changes in colouration?
Is there the possibility of parasites?

How long do you have kept this delhezi?

Greetings

Uwe
 
Sorry for your loss. It's hard to lose a favorite.
 
ohh no wounder how it happened don't worrie though ornates are one of the more tuffer polys from what i've heard don't give up its hard to loss a good poly but it would of want'ed you to get more

for the record those tank mates aren't the best you probably know this was it a grow out tank ? if not then the corys are risky cause i've know many fish to try and swallow them and get one stuck in there throut killing both fish
 
I've lost bichir due to mysterous problems even did an autopsy on one but without a microscope I didn't find much.
Of course now that i have the microscope everythings been fine.There are numerous possibilites as to what went wrong from improper care before you got Marley to a possible internal bacterial infection-Anne
Sorry for your loss but sometimes crap happens
 
Well I got him from Barbie about 2 months ago, so I know he was parasite free.

He was eating good and a varied diet. He was 5 inches or so.

Only thing I did before he died was a water change. So maybe there was something in our city water?

He was in a grow out tank. I was hoping to put him in the 55G tank very soon too with the Sens. Then upgrade to the 125G in May.
