:( New fish just died...wtf

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm lost..
 
Nothing happend i just dont wany anything else to die. and waho they dont have 120gallon fish dividers near me :) time to make a home made one.. LOWES TIME!
 
no company mass produces dividers over 12" wide I don't think. Yep time for the egg crate divider but why are you dividing the tank? It won't change what killed your irwini..
 
The irwini was never in the 120gallon. I bought egg crate and dividing a little big of the 120gallon off and putting my fish in that tank.

I'm dripping them now its ben 45 mins, waiting for my dad to get home to give me the tape measurer so i can cut the egg crate. Ill post pics.. and see what i did wrong this time.
 
Heres them dripping, and the 120gallon : the area from the peice of dw to the side of the tank is where they will be held untill the fish in the 120gallon will be moved into there new home. so about a week.
 
Forgot pics

this time i used an airbubler and the drip method

3 Pbass 1"
2 royal plecos 2 and 3"
1 jur 4"

FIRST: Why would you move them again and put that much more stress on them? I know that you just want them in better tank conditions but I think you are over reacting just a bit.
SECOND: I have some fish coming tomarrow and I was going to do a waterchange on my tanks tonight. Should I wait another week or do a small wc on that tank. I usually like to wait atleast a week to do another waterchange on tanks with new additions...

BTW you have some really nice fish milk.

Oh and if you like your pbass I would put them back in the ten gallon. Once that jur gets comfy he will munch them right up. Not hard for a 4" fish to eat a few 1" fish.

Can't tell to well from that picture, but it looks like you water drip line is flowing way too fast. I do 1 drop per 1-2 seconds at the fastest, and let them drip for at least 3 hours. Better that way, although I prefer the temp and drop method most right now, I have lost less fish using this method than any other method.
 
Its actully dripping about 3 drops per min, i have it cut off ( i closed the tank lid on it so it drips less) I already added them and they are much more active. I dropped 4 red wigglers ( kinda like small earth worms cutup in there to see if they eat ) The fish are swimming alot more now.

Thanks for the fish comment, The Pbass are actully more around 2" but I'm not worried about the jur eating the right now. When i see the jur eat the worms than i will be worried
