I had this cool little whiptail catfish and its stupidity killed it... he apparently sucked on the filter and it sucked his sucker off so he starved cuse he couldnt eat :( He was a cool little fish too, not a monster though but it makes me sad!
 
I have no clue I walked into my room and I found a dead whip tail so I scoop him out and notice his sucker is missing and I remebered him sucking on the filter and then on the filter was his little weird thing it looked kinda like his suckie part and it didnt get sucked up it just stayed on it was weird... that or some how my parrots managed that... but they dont noramlly bother him. If that makes any sense at all...

i doubt it was your filter

i think its foulplay, could have been the parrot

sorry for your loss ashy :(
 
whiptails really don't venture up ward unless theres a o2 problem probabaly died from something else and got his sucker chewed off sorry for your loss like these guys myself
 
Whiptails often die from no visible reason, they do require veggie supplements to there diet, like nori or spirolina, or they slowly lose tissue mass.
 
I fed him spirulina my parrots eat the pellets my front eats both and then the spirulina that went to the bottom usually stayed and he ate off it.
