Now what?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I am going to wait a little bit. Well actually the first thing I am going to do is call the LFS I got them from and see if they can get me some...All I need is a male or 2.
 
Sounds like you were doing all of the right things, just may have not been strong enough to withstand the treatment.

That'd be perfect. Good luck.

My water is always great.

Ammonia 0
nitite 0
nitrate 10-20
Ph 8.2

He was in a 90 gallon that I run 3 filters on for 1400 GPH filtration along with a UV sterilizer.

For symptoms he started not being as active and wouldn't eat...This started 2 weeks ago. I then saw white stringy pooh. I moved to a hospital tank and started treating for internal parasites...I had a holding female flameback die a couple weeks back. I have not had these fish that long maybe 1-2 months.

It was either parasites or bloat, possibly both. If I can find one to replace him with yes...I have 5 females who are useless without a male.

I don't have fish die either that is why this is so perplexing.

Sadly this happens at times and there is nothing you could do to prevent it.

When you say bloat how bloated was the fish? What was it's diet? Sometimes fish can become constipated and they will stop eating and will have a distended stomach. Shelled raw peas, spinich, duckweed, and epsom salt soaks are all possible cures for constipation.

I feel your pain, when I lost half of my Haplochromis Ruby Green colony, I was devastated. Imagine what Jhutch must've went through. :eek: I have fry growing out and I'm sure in a couple months they will be huge with all the water changes I am doing. If you want kyoga flamebacks, I don't know, but on aquabid, there's prontodelivery who has a trio. They might not be kyoga flamebacks, but they look like it to me. We're just not sure if they really are.


its actually a quad

Sorry for your loss bre
 
I am posting a pic of what he looked like on the morning before he died and am also posting a pic of him dead...Just wanting to see if anybody see's anything that may be a hint to what happened with him. He has little bliste on him in the dead pic but I didn't see those when he was alive...could that just be from his body bloating up from dying? Also, that light patch of skin was there before he died but he didn't always have this...just shortly (couple days) before he died. This was also the side of his body that was a little more swollen.
