Perils of Mixing

[ctoychik]

Oh well, somebody mentioned from back home that my black aro is RIP

Couple of weeks ago i instructed to try to mix the black aro with the big comm tank. I have heard that the mixing did not go well as the poor thing was pounded by the resident aros .... what i did not get a follow-up on is that he did not recover from the injuries sustained during the mixing - wow fragile much? the my green aro recovered from horrendous mauling (tail and anal and top fins completely clipped off)

D@mn it!!! black aros are not so easily gotten hold off back home (had this one imported from Singapore)

sorry to hear that man. I just lost a black aro not too long ago so I know how it feels.

It happened to me last week, a huge black was introduced in the comm tank and was dead in 3 days.

In another tank, a couple of months ago, my XBack killed 3 like sized blacks ( they wrere together for 3 years ) in one week.

sorry to hear that - of all aro's i think it has to be said that blacks are by far the most fragile

Thanks for your kind words.

Sorry to hear about your loss, man. I guess i pushed the envelope too far this time. I knew blacks were fragile but not that fragile. the asian aro that was trashed recovered fine

Yeah, i always heard that ... never quite believed it myself until i experienced first hand ... the worse thing is that these are not readily available back home

sorry for your loss

sorry man

Thanks guys

This is what was in the tank. i thought they were quite mellow ... i guess i was wrong

Silvers were in there - i do not know who did the killing as i was not there
