My first IT died

[TRYLSTEG808]

Today when i just got home from work the first thing i notice in my tank was one of my datnoid floating dead. I couldnt believe it died. My first and biggest datnoid i had died. The weird part is it didnt show sympthoms of illness or getting beaten up from other tank mates. My IT was eating all the time and is healthy. I been doing regular weekly water change and my tank has two filtration systems. There were no signs of stress or color change on his scales. The only thing i notice is it looks like its breathing more rapidly than my other dats. RIP my IT

Sorry to hear bro
Seems you were doing everything right, but it also seems that fish just die for no reason we can control. Time for a new dat

from the pic, it luks like it's dead from over feeding. one of my baby indo died the 3rd day i got 'em. these little guys don't know when to stop, they'll stuff themselves to death. also, u can check ur water for ammonia & nitrite level.

hey...TRYLETEG, guess wut, u have passed the bad luck to me...j/k. but freakin one of my baby indo 1.5" died today... T_T i have no idea why though...i fed him and the other babies the usual amount of food, but somehow he just died. so i guess it's not because of over feed.

if anyone can tell the reason from the pix, maybe my other 3 indo have a shot @ grow into adult size...so, help!!!!http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/member.php?u=19174

Theres a really nasty looking bulge in his stomach. Looks like something might be lodged in their. Another thing is the rapid breathing. Gill disease/parasites or lack of aeration in the water is usually the problem. Check for swollen or bulging gill plates or redness. For some reason a lot of peoples dats get this or experience Heavy breathing. Its normal to me.
